Wow…I don’t think anyone was watching the calendar, but today, January 18th, is the 2 year anniversary of AdMob’s official launch.

Rather than trying to list everything that has changed since then, here’s a snapshot of what we’re up to right now: Omar will be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos next week and a group of us are heading up to San Francisco this evening for the Crunchies (AdMob is nominated for best mobile start-up). Just being invited to participate in both these events speaks volumes for everything the team has accomplished.

And of course the numbers driving our business continue to grow:

• January 2006: 4M total ad impressions served
• January 2007: 1B total ad impressions served
• January 2008: 15B total ad impressions served (2B in December)

One thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to democraticizing the mobile ecosystem. From Omar’s launch blog post in January 2006:

“I am hopeful that AdMob will eventually become a powerful equalizer on the mobile web and provide some much needed infrastructure. . .Independent publishers will be able to expand and diversify their offerings, and independent producers of products and services will be encouraged to develop more creative and useful content. . .

By allowing a fair market to facilitate the exchange of products and content on the mobile web, AdMob can be a democratizing force. The world of mobile content need no longer be the sole domain of a few large companies.”

I can’t imagine what the next two years will bring, but like everyone at AdMob can’t wait to lead the company forward. Last but not least, we moved off Blogger and have this brand spanking new layout. Good stuff…and lots more to come.
