Finally, the word is out. Yesterday VMware announced the vExpert 2012 title holders.
I’m very happy to say that I’m one of them for the first time 
. I want to congratulate all of you who have also achieved the vExpert title.
Big thanks goes to the whole VMware team, John Troyer and last but not least Alex Maier.
This title will give me a big energy boost to post more and more virtualization and cloud related blog posts on a regular basis!
To all other vExperts out there: Congratulations!!!
Because this is my first post of the year, I will take a little time to look back at the past year.
If I look back at 2010 it was really a great year for myself, as I start (again) with blogging, first at my old site vminfo.nl and later that year on my new blog: VirtualClouds.info. Not only I changed my blog, I also switched to a new company with a focus on Enterprise virtualization technologies, so that would be a great source of inspiration to write new blog posts 
.
Below some facts about my blog, and a list of the top 10 blog posts (by unique visitors):
