After finding out that ‘public blip’ is 3 years old, I’ve been thinking about what makes this place special.

If I had to pick one word, it would be…

[b]Variety[/b].

Not just the variety of images,

but the wide variety of people.

Different walks of life, different countries, different lives.

Every day I log in and get the news of the world. Not the big events of the world, but the stuff that matters most – everyday things.

Things that touch us on a daily basis and make each of us who we are…

Thank you to everyone for letting me share in your everyday moments

Thank you Joe for making it all possible… it’s amazing how something so life changing for so many of us started out with one man with his own small spot on the web.

P.S. This is [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/view.php?id=332041&month=7&year=2009#]my top pic[/url] for ‘themagicnumber’ prize… not just a great image but a great example of how important blip is to so many of us.
