To our beloved family, friends, colleagues, and guy who has no idea why searching “fat hairy Turkish man” landed him on this Tumblr:

Holiday greetings to you and yours! In true self-indulgent holiday card fashion, we’d like to take this time to brag about all the slightly significant events of 2011. It was most definitely our best second year yet! 

Can you believe it? Last year, there were just 3 of us: Atlanta, NYC, and a new baby, SF. This year, we’ve been blessed to bring on 10 healthy, beautiful new cities (and definitely not by accident!) We love them all equally, and can’t wait to watch them grow like the rest of our busy brood.

Between all of this breeding, we found time to put on some amazing parties and make new friends with the likes of Foursquare and Foodspotting. We also collaborated with the likes of Public Bikes, Savored, Lot 18, and Etsy to give back to our people with fun prizes! You could even consider us a year-round version of Santa! (But, shhhh, don’t tell the kids!!!)  

Meanwhile, everyday, we’re tirelessly working to make our app even better for our users. It’s the never-ending mission of self-improvement, right? (Next year: power walking!) We added Blackberry along with the Android and iPhone, and—finally!—search function and other goodies to the iPhone! Phew!

There’s so much more we could share with you about this wonderful year, but we want to keep it brief (cough, cough, a Webby Award) and don’t want to ramble too much about our good fortune (ahem, CNN, Mashable, Clark Howard, New York Times, Wall Street Journal) in 2011. Really, we’re just so lucky to be healthy and alive!!! 

Also! We went to the beach!

Here’s to an even more wonderful, prosperous 2012 for you and yours. And for us too… if it’s kosher to jump in on that.

Love and hugs from the Scoutmob founders,

Michael & Dave
