5th Year Anniversary as Head of Community at Fotolog.com

6/29/09
Five years ago, on a sunny June Monday, I headed to the Upper East Side to start my job as "Director Member Services" for Fotolog's community, back then less than 400,000 members strong.

Today, our office is located near Union Square area, still in New York, and we're soon welcoming our 26th million member account!

Boah! These are quite some numbers, aren't they?

Five years. One of my least favorite interview questions is "Where do you see yourself in five years" and interestingly enough, Adam never asked that dreaded question! Thanks /cypher! :) While I would have hoped to still be with Fotolog, I would not have known how to answer this question, having never been in a job for longer than 2 or 3 years.

But, as everybody knows who's working for Fotolog, it's not your everyday job. It's a commitment, especially when you're dealing with people.

And people, and their photos and their stories never stop to amaze me! This goes both ways actually. There's very much light but also some darkness every now and then! Overall though, it's cool.

Along the way, over the years, I've met a lot of people and became good friends with a few. I decided to not name them all here, if alone out of fear to miss somebody and to really hurt somebody's feelings. Most of them are in my F/Fs anyway. And, since I know YOU KNOW who you are, thank you for your friendship and dedication. Thank you for continuing to enjoy Fotolog and if there's anything I can do for you, let me know, and I'll give it a try.

Love and Peace.

-- Elke xoxo

Happy Aniversary Elke!!!

Congrats, my friend. I'm still in bed with a bit of fever, but at least I was able to sleep last night.

Love you, and see you soon when I finally recover completely :)

Love,

Fran.

Further: I was away from Fotolog doing the Facebook thing for 6 months but back here again. Personal goings on can a bit too there, who's wants to know if you just brushed your teeth and had a shower etc.?
I prefer the Fotolog format because you're more focused here.
No worries at my end and Happy Trails to you all doing the labour of love at Fotolog...Chris

Was für eine tolle Entwicklung! Wer hätte gelaubt, daß Fotolo so groß wird. Was, Du warst noch nie so lange in einem Job? Ich habe es 30 Jahre beim selben ausgehalten. Da hast Dunoch was vor Dir!
