On Friday, CIO Magazine included us in its “10 Virtualization Companies to Watch in 2008.” Considering that the virtualization movement itself is something to watch in 2008, we couldn’t be happier. So, we know what you are all asking. What can we expect from Marathon in 2008? Well, that’s a topic for another post, but here is what you can expect from the blog in 2008.

1) Marathon Technologies “Are You Available Tonight?” blog will continue to keep you updated on all things Marathon and more. We’ll introduce a few guest bloggers now and again to keep things fresh and stimulate the minds of our readers.

2) We’ll link to Tarry Singh at least a few times because we think Tarry is insightful and we think our readers will like him to. (Read his post on the CIO Article, here)

3) We’ll avoid unnecessary “link love.” Although there are a lot of bloggers we enjoy reading, there is no need to link to them here, here, here and here.

4) Maybe, if you’re good, we’ll add a few pictures to really enhance the experience… but only if you’re good.

5) We’ll take requests… we mean for blog topics, please send your requests for Taylor Hicks to Ryan Seacrest.

So, that’s what you have to look forward to. It’s going to be a big year for the blog and we’re glad to have you aboard. Congratulations to the other 9 companies featured in the CIO article. We’ll be watching.
