Twenty Eleven
Wow, it’s 2011 already! 12 days in, I already began scratching stuff off my 2011 list of resolutions and I see no end in sight. Today I’m also announcing a partnership with a site: GeekSmack.
As some of you probably know, my relationship with GS has been pretty on and off. I joined the site in July 2008, left for a first time in April of the following year, just to come back a few months later (as a member) and more recently leaving this past November as part of a refocusing effort in part due to time constraints. So you might be rightly wondering: ‘What now?’.
A few months ago, I learned that Neowin and GS member Jason (@jeayese) was working on an app review site (Unsucky Apps). I quickly got in touch with him and we began talks about me joining the site, first as a guest writer, and later as an actual member of the staff. Meanwhile, the staff at GS got interested in the site as well, and a content deal was made. We’re now in the process of integrating both sites together (which I’ll help with as much as I can), which at the end of the day means I’ll have the pleasure of returning to GeekSmack once again, as a staff member for the first time in nearly 2 years.
So what will I be doing? For starters, I’ll be reviewing software of all sorts, several times a week. Your feedback is important so be sure to post on our forums (an individual thread will likely be started soon) and let us know what apps you’d like us to review. I’ll consider community input over my own findings so you better get in there and tell us which awesome apps you’ve come across. Aside from app reviews I’ll also be blogging several times a day about the craziest technology, similar to the now suspended Crazy Tech Countdown column but not in the form of column and on a daily basis. Of course I expect feedback from you on that as well.
This is just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a great 2011 both online and real life-wise. You’ll hear about the latter in the next several months, but for now, enjoy the new content and check out GeekSmack, MyBB Runway and all the sites I’m currently involved with. Oh, and one more thing: enjoy the blog redesign. Sadly I can’t take any credit for it.
