Today, in the wee hours of morning, 3:45am to be exact, BitchBuzz.com turned one year old.
While on the grand scheme of things, we’re still a humble little blog, we’re very proud of how much we’ve grown over the last 365 days.
We are so very appreciative of the thousands of people who come and read what we have to say every day.
Our followers on Twitter, our fans on Facebook and all you out there who we’ve met in person at various events and bars in both San Francisco and London – thank you so much for all of your support!
To help celebrate this special day, here’s just a little reminder of our favorite posts and events in the past year!

Remember When...
Kate Kotler interviewed Jonathan Ross at Comic Con and he emailed her that photo of David Tennant? And then Tweeted about us and crashed our servers?
PR Weekly gave us a 9/10 in PR friendliness in their Web Barons feature?
Paul Carr hated us. And then we hated him. And then we made up?
Jon Mellencamp & Robyn Hitchcock both mentioned us on their websites?
Russell T Davies told Kate Kotler he "loved" the name BitchBuzz?
Lovely Things that Lovely People Have Said About Us:
Bitchin Lifestyle:
“Bitchbuzz rifles through modern culture with the fervor and skill of a seasoned vintage shopper, tossing aside the tired and trite, and unearthing the gems.”
Wanker Girl’s Blarm! Podcast:
“It’s got this perfect combination of content that’s female oriented, but it’s got this geeky-gadget-fashion-sex-feministy sort of awesome energetic feel to the entire site and I absolutely adore it.”
Sarah Lacy:
“My thoughts aside, both NonSociety and Jezebel have people who love the sites and people who loathe them. ..No doubt, BitchBuzz will get the same thing-- from the name alone. In my book, that says they're doing something right.”
Paul Carr:
“Misogyny and misanthropy aside - the content. It's alright.”
Flaming Nora:
“I can't abide women's magazines and never buy them any more...but online feisty-female-fests are much more up my street.”
YourTango
“These women seem to have everything covered, from the geek to the chic.”
It’s been a busy, wonderful, fantastically amazing year. Here’s to many, many more. What? Did you think we were going somewhere? Bitch, please.
