Happy birthday ProductWiki!

ProductWiki first launched November 25th, 2005, which means that we're 2 years old today! If the website were a toddler, perhaps this year would mark the "terrible twos" and it would randomly throw tantrums in the grocery store, but I'd like to think that we're above that...not too mention that I think that it's impossible ;).

Some of you have been around since the beginning, but most have come around more recently. It's been an amazing ride so far and we've evolved quite a bit since those early days. In case you were wondering about the first product added, it was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (I'm as surprised as you are). Xbox 360 and the original Xbox were #3 and #4 respectively. Can you find out what was #2? (Hint: try browsing "all products")

Here is some nostalgia for you

The site has definitely come a long way... though funny enough, seeing that screen, it's not too bad looking. Here's to a fantastic community that has made PW a really friendly place.

4 MORE YEARS! 4 MORE YEARS!

Why 4? Why not 40? Or 400?

How about 86.7 more years?

I see that you added a lot of apple products originally.
