ChEnected 2010 - Our First Year

ChEnected launched in February of 2010. Our first contributor post, Should You Go Broad or Deep, was on February 26, 2010. Since then the site has grown into a community of more than 40 authors and contributors and more than 6,000 unique monthly visitors. As we begin a promising 2011, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on all that's gone into making ChEnected. ChEnected's success is owed to the chemical engineers and other professionals who spent many hours writing, producing, and engaging with great content. ChEnected has most definitely made an international impact. Here are the top ten countries represented by our more than 6,000 visitors: U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, India, Malaysia, Australia, Mexico, Columbia, the Phillipines, and Singapore. With the start of 2011, we're looking forward to adding many more contributors and readers. We would also like to welcome Douglas Clark, a writer and social media enthusiast who will be taking charge of ChEnected's day-to-day operations.

ChEnected 2010 in Pictures

I found a great site called Pummelvision, which creates videos with Flickr or Facebook photos, flashing them before your eyes at lightning speed. So I used it to make a video recapping most everything that represented ChEnected during its first year. It contains photos taken at various conferences where ChEnected was present, including AIChE's Annual and Spring Meetings. It also shows photos from the ChEnected blog. 

Thanks again. Looking forward to an amazing 2011!
