About three weeks ago today, we released FTH 2.0 to the public. During the last three weeks, thanks to the dedication, support, and constructive feedback from hundreds of "early adopters", we have made an already great system event better -- a system that is now certainly ready for "prime time".
I can't believe that it's been almost 8 years since the launch of FreeToastHost.org. Back then, in 2003, web-based technology was very different and I used what tools I had to create a system that did the trick. But as we all know, 8 years in Internet time is like a lifetime in the real world. In 2011, the technology is available to do some amazing things Likewise, web browser technology is to the point where virtually all Internet users can take advantage of this technology. When Toastmasters International had asked me to update the FreeToastHost platform with some new templates as part of the major re branding campaign, I felt like this would be giving a 1980 Toyota Camry a new coat of paint. What I really wanted to do, was deliver them a Ferrari. FreeToastHost 2.0 is the result.
