Ten years ago today, Windows Central moved from a small blog to the big time.
Today, our site is having a little tenth-anniversary party. The whole story is much more complicated, however, because we actually go back to late 2006 when Dieter Bohn (now at The Verge) launched our forums and an accompanying mini-blog, but it was that January 2009 effort that set the stage for our future.
On January 3, 2009 this site – then known as WMExperts – underwent a massive revamp. We went from a forum-centric site posting a few news stories every day with occasional reviews to a more active one with a larger staff.
That shift coincided with the heyday of Windows Mobile (hence WMExperts) that would eventually shift towards the shiny new Metro future of Windows Phone (and another name change for us in 2010).
Windows Central milestones
The first script for the WMExperts podcast with Dieter Bohn and Malatesta from February 2008.
There have been many milestones along the way. It was on February 15, 2008, that Dieter and I started the first WMExperts Podcast.
Many writers and much talent have come and gone over the years including Merlin3D, HobbesIsReal, George Ponder, Sam Sabri, Paul Acevedo, Seth Brodeur, and others.
