I’m impressed with what you have done in 8 years. My business will be celebrating it’s 2nd birthday in a few days – the day I walked away from a regular paycheck. I remember someone telling me – “Now you will find out what you are really worth”.

Chris, you must be worth a LOT! Thas is if we base our gold factor on appreciatation for what you have done. You have certainly helped my business and countless others with a venue to share our articles. God Bless

Happy B-day EzineArticles!

But you know, the real birth of a business is the idea itself.

Were you thinking about something like EzineArticles before or did you start the business as soon as the idea came?

I know from personal experience that the original idea morphs into something different (usually) over time as well.

The moment I have seen your Celebration eMail, I thought I must share my happiness.It has been a wonderful experience for about one week going through the excellent features of EzineArticles.com before I recently became member of your family. As a web master & administrator, I am really impressed with the system you have built over years. Retaining the excellence over a period would have been possible with your dedicated team and hardwork.

Awesome!

An over used word certainly, tho here is one dictionary definition:

1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.
2. showing or characterized by awe.
3. Slang. very impressive.

Certainly applies here to EzineArticles.

Happy 8th Birthday, and thanks for making a difference in my life and in the lives of so many.

Happy Birthday EzineArticles :-)

I was pleasant surprised that EzineArticles is just 8 years old and the leaps and bounds it has crossed is simply amazing. Being a new writer for EzineArticles, I always admired at the class of EzineArticles organising more than 60 thousand authors and their hundred thousands articles!

Keep up your excellent work EzineArticles, you have excelled far beyond imaginations. You aren’t just a 8year kid, but a fully matured genius buddy and is there to stay and grow older till www exist!

Hearty congrats to you ezine atricles.

Edward,

EzineArticles was just one of many sites that my team and I acquired between 1999-2001.

We had raised VC funding November of ’99 and went on a buying spree of websites that had one thing in common: They all provided value for email newsletter publishers and/or responsible (meaning not spammers) email marketers.

Unfortunately that business failed when the dot com bubble bursted and I painfully bought out our minority VC partner (when I didn’t have to and could have run away as we both shared the failure)… so that I could be left with a collection of websites that were worth NOTHING…

The genesis of EzineArticles as it is today, really happened in 2003 out of a problem that no one in the market had solved the way we thought it should be solved: The CMS.

Like many firms, we had evolved from Microsoft Frontpage to Dreamweaver and then to raw HTML code, but there was a bigger problem: We had to move from a non-database website to a database driven website. Server Side Includes (SSI) would only help our cause so much… and it was in 2003 that we went looking for a CMS platform to move to.

Turned out NOTHING met our needs good enough… and PHP was picking up speed in overall adoption (formerly, PERL was the code of the web gods)…and MySQL as a database was also gaining strong adoption.

Even though EzineArticles didn’t re-launch till August 4th of 2004…it was 2003 that the CMS (Content Management System) platform was conceived.

The full day and year of your domain start-up breaks down to the single four number which is a powerful number. It represents: individualism, originality, inventiveness and tolerance.

19 is one of the most powerful compound numbers. Both of my children were born on the 19th. It’s one of my favourites for starting new projects or taking on difficult things.

“‘The Prince of Heaven’….
It (the number 19) is symbolised as the Sun, and is called the Prince of Heaven because it indicates victory over all temporal failure and disappointment….
This number promises happiness and fulfillment – success in all ventures…”
