<p>Some people said it couldn&#8217;t be done.  Others asked specifically that it not be done.  Most have no idea this even exists.  But, despite all the doubters and naysayers and initiated, we&#8217;ve defied expectations and reached our one year anniversary.  It was just a year ago today (or &#8220;was it only a year ago?&#8221;) that Jumped The Snark launched with the unveiling of the <a href="http://jumpedthesnark.com/judd-apatow-effect/" target="_blank">Judd Apatow Effect</a>.  Full disclosure: we felt pretty confident that our thoroughly researched and elaborately detailed chart was going to rocket us into the blogosphere, but the truth is that it&#8217;s a year later and readership hasn&#8217;t grown since that first week and we&#8217;ve still yet to be linked to on <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/popcandy/index" target="_blank">Pop Candy</a>.  But, despite <a href="http://twitter.com/popcandy" target="_blank">Whitney&#8217;s</a> constant rejection and a plateau in daily views, we&#8217;re committed delivering unneeded thoughts on <em>SNL</em> and unsolicited commentary on <em>The Office</em> and irrelevant <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro_YB3y_4uw" target="_blank"><em>Growing Pains</em></a> videos and cheap shots at Guy Fieri and news on the Muppets that&#8217;s of no interest to anyone but me.  That&#8217;s a Jumped The Snark guarantee.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve joined us thus far, we do humbly thank you for spending a few minutes patronizing this little site.  If, for some odd reason, you googled &#8220;Jumped The Snark one year anniversary&#8221; and ended up on this blog for the first time, welcome.  We&#8217;re happy to have you, even if we question the logic of your search terms.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a great first year.  But we&#8217;re looking forward to bigger and better things in year two and beyond.  As long as there are videos of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u63T2iLOl8s" target="_blank">TGIF sitcoms</a> on YouTube we&#8217;ll be around.  Now, let&#8217;s have some cake!</p>
