AGBeat celebrates five happy years with its loyal readers

Thank you for five wonderful years, readers!

Today marks five years since the launch of this organization, and we want to thank you, our loyal readers, for commenting over the years, digesting the free content, and sharing it through social networks and word of mouth. We are eternally grateful!

AG started out as a single person blog, but within the first few months exploded into a national forum with dozens of writers. We’ve been lucky to expand into new markets and extend our news coverage and are proud to be first to the story and have unique angles that others typically miss.

We have pushed ourselves hard to maintain our integrity and to keep pushing the idea that we can change the world by helping business professionals to be better informed, thus giving consumers a better experience.

What the next five years have in store

In 2007, if you had told us we would be right here right now, we would be so enthusiastic about this success, and maybe a little skeptical that we could turn a one-man blog into a vital news organization. This week, we are making several major announcements that will give you clues as to what is in store for the next five years, but we have lofty goals and a lot of coffee for late nights to reach those goals, because ultimately, we want to do the best job possible for you.

We would love to hear from you in the comments – do you remember how you learned about AG? When did you first begin reading? What has been your favorite columnist or article? What have you learned here? What impact has our team made on your business life?

We thank you so much for giving us five amazing years! Happy Anniversary, readers!
