Overstream.net celebrates the Two Year Anniversary since its beta launch on December 12, 2006!

The second Overstream year has been a whole lot more eventful than the first, with groups such as the asian show fansubbers, foreign language instructors and the deaf/hard-of-hearing community contributing to the overall growth of Overstream.net user community and subtitled content.

This year saw relatively little development of Overstream.net website features, with the Overstream team mainly focusing on site maintenance. During this last year, we have moved to a dedicated hosting on a new hosting provider MyRackspace, to continue to be able to provide reliable service to the significantly increased number of site users.

Next year, we are planning to expand our development team and to renew the site development. We haven’t been gathering those feature requests for nothing all this time, you know! So we do hope that next year will be even more awesome than the last!

We’ve released a small site update recently. Its main attraction is that Overstream Editor v0.62 has been released, which now allows you to rename your overstreams. This feature, left out of the Overstream Editor originally (for reasons which no longer make any sense :)) has been long coming.

In other news, we have recently hit two landmarks: 20,000 registered users, and 20,000 overstreams in total. Looking from a year ago, I certainly could not have predicted such growth,  and can’t help but be amazed every day that so many people continue to find overstream.net useful. Thank you, guys (and girls)!
