It’s hard to believe it, but today is CyberNet’s 2nd birthday! Two years ago Ryan started this blog as a hobby, a place where he could “bookmark” things he came across on the Internet. He still reminds me of how I laughed when he told me what he had started, mainly because he’s always hated writing. Little did he or I know that we’d both be maintaining CyberNet on a full-time basis just two years later. It’s been both fun and challenging over the last two years, but all of the time and effort that has been put into the site has been worth it!
Before we get into explaining our Birthday Bash Giveaway Extravaganza, we’d like to first take the time to thank all of you and share an overview of our statistics! We have an awesome community and have met a lot of great people. Whether you contribute by commenting, submitting tips, or simply reading what we write, THANK YOU!

Happy Birthday Cybernet!!!
Cybernet is one of the first sites I goto @ work every morning - not being able to check my web mail for the latest tech updates is a drag. Thanks guys for your well-informed articles and frequent daily postings
I love it when people give me presents on THEIR birthday!
Thanks for the contests!

Happy Birthday Cybernet! You guys rock.
Happy birthday! Keep up the good work. I’ve come to use Cybernet as one of my main sources for technology news.
Happy birthday! But this is weird, weren’t we the ones supposed to give presents for you?
Happy Birthday, and looking forward to many more.
Wow this site started the day after my birthday!!
Couldn’t agree more! Happy Birthday Cybernet!!!
My RSS reader would feel naked without it.
Great work! I can’t wait to see what happens in the next two years.
Happy second birthday, I’d like to think I’m one of the longer time readers (seeing as I started in February ‘06 ) and I’ve always enjoyed the content here (except for the old double sidebar design :P). Keep it up.
Congrats on the 2 years! I hope the future is just as successful.

I must have come in just after your first anniversary because I am quite surprised to learn your blog is only 2. With so many feeds available and so little time for me to follow them, it is quite difficult for feeds to last very long on my subscription list if I don’t find them useful. Your’s is at the top of my list for keeping and reading. I find myself saving many of your articles for future reference. Thanks for being there and keep up the great work…
Happy second birthday. Keep p the good (& hard) work. Bring on the champaign!
Insanely Awesome; thanks Ryan!
We really appreciate everyone’s comments, and it is because of all our great readers that we wanted to put together a big giveaway. So hopefully some of you become winners tomorrow!
Thanks guys! We are definitely looking forward to many more years…
Happy b’day Cybernet and congrats Ryan and Ashley
Thanks for the great site. I too missed out on the giveaways, but since I don’t check every day that’s just the way it goes. I discovered your site when I was searching for some information last year and have loved it since. Here’s to 2 great years and hoping it will be many more….
