 40Tech community chat

Do you like to talk about tech, but feel like you’re stranded on an island?  Guess what – you’re NOT alone.  We here at 40Tech love to talk about tech, and we’re sure many of you in the community do as well.  So, we’re setting up our first ever 40Tech community chat.  Will it be huge?  Will it flop?  Who knows, but we’re going to have fun in the process.  Read on for the details.

A New Look for 40Tech

40Tech new theme 

Welcome to the new look for 40Tech.  We’ll have a post up in the next few days with some information about the design.  The logo you see up top was designed by our very own Bobby Travis, who does this sort of thing for a living.  We hope that the new look feels a bit cleaner to you, and helps you navigate the site more easily.  It also should help us in our plans to grow the site going forward.  Bear with us as we tweak the site, as you may see some glitches here and there.  Stay tuned for more news!


The Results Are In — And We Love You For It!

Virtual Coookies for 40Tech Readers! Thanks to everyone who participated in our awesome two-question survey last week — we got a pretty decent sample and are excited by the results! We discovered that, overall, we are generally talking to the more wise or wizened among us, but there is also a healthy dose of youthfulness about. It just goes to show that good content rises above age barriers (whether perceived or otherwise); and we love that you guys and gals find us to be worth your time to read.

This information has been invaluable for our pending redesign. Not to worry tried and true’s: we are keeping the same great content — but it will be presented to you in a clearer, cleaner and (hopefully) even more inviting way. We plan to bring you more great stuff more often, too, so if you’re interested in writing for 40Tech, let us try you out with a guest post or two!

Thanks again — and virtual cookies for all!

How Old Are We, Really? (Reader survey)

Reader survey - age and usage We’ve been told a few times that our content here at 40Tech appeals to more than just us "older folks."  We’re curious now… we need to know the truth! Please take a minute and answer this two question survey [external link] and help us in our quest for knowledge.  This will help us learn just a bit more about our readers, as a whole, and also help us improve the site.  No personally identifiable info is collected, we promise.


Join Us at the 40Tech Facebook Fan Page

40Tech Facebook Fan Page A little snow can do wonders for an overflowing to-do list.  For a while, we’ve wanted to start a Facebook page for 40Tech.  Today, we’ve done just that, giving birth to the 40Tech Facebook Fan Page.  Hop on over and introduce yourself on the Wall, or jump into the discussion board.  I’ve started a discussion there where we can banter about the gadgets we love, but feel free to start a new thread about any other topic that tickles your fancy.  You’ll need to become a Fan, first (those are Facebook’s rules, not ours).  We hope to see you there!
