We have nearly 700 employees at Jupitermedia. From time to time I mention some of our colleagues. Today I want to brag about our community sites and our colleagues who run them.

Long before Web 2.0 became a buzzword, we were running thriving communities and today we have more than 1.5 million members. This month Microsoft recognized more than a doszen of these community members by rewarding them with the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) citation. While a number of Microsoft MVPs write original feature articles in our sites, it is great to see a number of additional people recognized for their contributions in forums such as Codeguru.com and Vbforums.com. Their contributions are just one of the many reasons we have some of the best discussion forums anywhere on the Net! We are especially proud that our executive editor in charge of development content, Brad Jones, is one of these Microsoft honorees. Congratulations to all.
