It’s hard to believe, but on June 1st 2006 Telligent turned 2 years old! To celebrate we brought in some of our team in from out-of-town, held a half-day company meeting, and then took over a section of a restraunt for a nice dinner. The night was also a celebration of some amazing achievements the CodeSmith team has accomplished.

I’ve posted some photos from the dinner here:

The last 2 years have been absolutely amazing. We’ve built 3 versions of the Community Server platform, acquired another software product, formed a new venture with Eric Smith (CodeSmith Tools, LLC), built a number of amazing implementations of Community Server (most recently for MSNBC: cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com) and I still feel like we’re just getting started!

We’ve got some exciting new plans in the works too: we’re currently building 3 new exciting products, two of which will likely come out early 2007, Community Server 2.1 (used on this site) will be released in the next 6 weeks, and we have recently launched a new business, Sound Hires; a new .NET services business focusing on local markets.

I’d personally like to say thank you to the people at Telligent and CodeSmith; I’m continually amazed at what you have been able to accomplish. Also, to everyone who has used our free or commercial products and services, thank you. We’ve come a long way from the days of .Text, nGallery, and ASP.NET Forums, but as the recent Forrester research reports says, ‘Telligent Provides A Strong, Community-Based Blogging Platform‘. Yes, we’re excited about the progress we’ve made, but we still have a long, long ways to go. Stick around, I think you’ll like what is coming!
