If you’re in the United States or if you work with anyone who is, you’ll notice the Internet was pretty quiet last week as everybody took time off to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. We did our best to do the same here at Increo, and the team took a few days to relax from work and count its blessings.

While the technical resources we have at our disposal, some of which didn’t exist even six months or a year ago, are certainly important to us, to say merely that we’re thankful for Apache and PHP and TextMate and iTunes and big Dell monitors would entirely miss the point.

Our goals have nothing to do with bits or bytes or programs or even “solutions”, even as much as the last of those appears in the company’s name. We exist to bring people together and to facilitate the innovation that has so often disappeared in modern work culture, and software is just a means to that end.

As such, we’re thankful today for people. For our team — that six of us could be able to come together and share a common purpose — and for our users, the people for whom we exist. For the people in the Silicon Valley blogosphere, for their encouragement and their praise. For the people who backed us from the beginning to the paying customers who back us every day. For the people who read us here and follow us on Twitter, always providing us with the very feedback on which we place so much importance.

To everybody: thank you. And stay tuned, because the next big thing from Increo is coming soon.
