Holy moly, they grow up so fast. Our pride and joy is turning two next week and local blog inDECATUR is turning three! If you’re in Atlanta, we’d love it if you’d come wear silly hats, eat cake, drink, and celebrate with us at The Marlay House on August 5. (Regator was actually launched on August 7 and inDECATUR on August 6, but we thought you’d be more likely to show up on a Thursday. That, and one of the Regator cofounders has a commitment to DJ elsewhere on Saturday night.)
It’s hard to believe that it’s been an entire year since we gathered at The Marlay House (then called The Grange) with inDECATUR, one of our favorite blogs, to celebrate our first anniversary and inDECATUR’s second. Since then, we’ve launched the premium iPhone app, been featured by Apple in the App Store and named one of the top 50 startups on the web by Louis Gray, exhibited for the first time at BlogWorld, rebuilt the site from scratch and redesigned everything, nearly doubled the number of blogs we aggregate, and so much more. It’s amazing the difference a year makes.
During that year, we’ve also seen countless blogs come and go. After all, blogging is hard work…especially if you do it right. Fortunately the prolific Dave Kell of InDECATUR shows no signs of slowing down. With more than 5,500 posts indexed by Regator, inDECATUR is one of the metro area’s most thorough and consistent blogs and is holding strong as the second most popular Atlanta blog on Regator (after Creative Loafing) for two years running. Team Regator is proud to be sharing a birthday celebration with Dave.
So whether you’re a friend of Regator, inDECATUR, or the Atlanta internet community in general, we hope you’ll stop by The Marlay House at 426 West Ponce in Decatur any time after 6pm on August 5 to celebrate with us. We’d love to see you. Be warned, just like last year, this is not a Regator/Mashable or Regator Launch-style throw-down, just a low-key, buy-your-own drinks get together. For those of you craving another massive shindig, be secure in the knowledge that we’re hard at work on something special.
