2005 is reaching its end and it's time for us to celebrate a brand new year.

I'm writing down those few lines while I can still make a difference between a computer keyboard and a bubble of champagne -that is, a few minutes before the party starts.

Today is also the fourth anniversary of this web site. In late 2001, when I started making a draft of kimwildetv, I had no idea what a fantastic experience it would turn to. I thought a handful of people would be interested in watching those nostalgia videos (so was the initial concept), but I was interested in what those people had to say, and that's how kimwildetv became the first interactive multimedia web site dedicated to Kim Wilde.

These days, using peer-to-peer networks to get Kim's videos, and free interactive web tools (such as blog-based sites) to make them available, nearly everyone would be able to build up such a site. However, with more than 10000 visitors per month, the number of visitors of kimwildetv has never stopped growing (see the detailed statistics for 2005). So how do I explain that?

My guess is, far from the technical aspects of the site, kimwildetv has become a place where human beings meet human beings. Right, we've got something in common, we all happen to be (or used to be -or will be) Kim Wilde's fans. But since I have met a couple of you, I can tell that you're all more than Kim Wilde's fans, and that's certainly what makes this site different.

Please accept my best wishes for 2006. And keep in mind: Love Is.. ALL!

Pierre.
