Today, June 25, 2008, is VizThink’s official one-year anniversary!  So, we thought we would use today to share a little bit more about us.  One of the things many of you may not know about VizThink is that we’re a completely virtual company.  While the business address is in Portland, Oregon, none of the team is actually based in there.  Including our contractors, we’re spread out all over the world.  Most of the time, it works really well.   Technologies like eMail, chat, web conferencing, cellphones, Skype, and of course telephones make it work, generally. 

For some things though, being a virtual company makes it a little harder.  So, when it came to planning the anniversary, we had a dilemma.  How do we celebrate?  Ryan’s in Toronto, Chris is in upstate New York, and Tom is in Ann Arbor.  We brainstormed lots of ideas and finally decided that we should have a wholesome party and share some ice cream:

Then, we thought, “Is that how we would really celebrate?”:

Regardless of you celebrate, we had a lot of fun and want to take this moment to thank you–our readers, our attendees, and our community.  Without you, work wouldn’t be so fun.  Without you, we wouldn’t have a purpose.  Without you, we wouldn’t exist.  So, thank you so much for your involvement.  We look forward to many more years of exciting happenings in the visual thinking community.

Later today, we’ll share a even more about us with a brief look at our history.  For now, help us celebrate both our first year and, hopefully, many more.  Feel free to leave a comment below, or post your celebration picture to Flickr with the tag vtanniversary1.
