This year I have really been putting a lot of work into ThinkComputers. We are now doing video reviews and unboxings, we have community forums, a weekly newsletter and much more. One thing we never really posted much on the site was news. I just never viewed it as something important and I wanted to keep the focus on the…

When you do the same thing over and over again it can get old and you can become very bored and unmotivated. This has happened to me multiple times with ThinkComputers. I spend my days either making unboxing videos, taking product photos or writing reviews. This is not bad at all, but doing it day after day can get to…

Each year when I attend CES I am always reminded of how important it is to attend industry events. Even if there was nothing to cover at CES it is still very important to attend for many reasons, which I have listed below. Showing Face Most of the communication I do with companies I work with is via e-mail. So…

“Hustle is the most important word. Ever. And that’s what you need to do.” – Gary Vaynerchuk Well it is getting back in to that time of year again, the holidays. This time of year for me means a lot of work. With ThinkComputers we are reviewing computer hardware and companies are releasing many new products for the holiday season….

If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus and other social networks you know I use Instagam a lot. In the past year it has replaced twitpic as my daily photo program. I really enjoy Instagram and you can create some really cool photos with it. So I have decided to share my photos with you each week. I…

So for the longest time I had been looking for a to-do list app for my iPhone. Not only just an iPhone app, but something that I could use on my desktop or pretty much anywhere. So many of the apps that I found were not simple to do list’s and have so many unnecessary features that makes things confusing and do not get the job done. A couple of months ago my friend Pat told me about TeuxDeux.

It seems the buzz all around the internet for the past couple of weeks has been about Google’s new social platform Google Plus or Google+. We have seen Google social things before like Buzz, which really did not catch on, but it seems many people are embracing Google+. Google+ is a social network, but what makes it different from Facebook? Well first off Google+ does not have games or 3rd party apps at this time. This means you are not getting stupid requests for apps and for people asking you to help them in Mafia Wars or something like that.

One thing that I’ve always stressed to people when going to conferences is that you should always meet new people and network. I have met some great business partners and good friends at conferences and I would have never met them if I didn’t take the initiative and go up to them and introduce myself. You should always try and…

One thing that I end up doing a lot is going to a website and really liking the content, but then totally forgetting about the website and never being able to find it again. While this is annoying to me, it can’t be a good thing for the site owner. With any website I’ve ever worked on or ran I…

If you have not heard of bit.ly I’m sure you have seen a bit.ly link around somewhere. Bit.ly is a URL shortening service that allows you to take large URL like this: http://www.thinkcomputers.org/kingston-mobilelite-g2-usb-card-reader-with-8gb-sdhc-card-review/ and turn it into something like this: http://bit.ly/6IBH75. So what is the reason to shorten a URL? URL shortening makes it easier to remember URL’s, but I…

If you come to this blog often you know that I don’t change things up that much. Well finally I made a few changes, some of the stuff I’ve been meaning to do for a while actually, and I just never got around to it. It is always good to change up your blog from time to time, that way…

Ahh good old social media, if you want to know what exactly I’m talking about Wikipedia defines social media as online content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. Social media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content; it supports the human need for social interaction with technology, transforming broadcast…

Wow another month that has flown by! I guess that what happens in the summer it seems like it goes by so fast! This month was a very productive one for me! ThinkComputers has really been pushing out content and our traffic has been up a lot. Since being in my new apartment it seems I’m getting more work done…

If there is one thing that everyone want’s for their website or blog….it’s traffic. It’s great when your blog or website gets traffic. It can make you money, get you more members, or just get more people interested in what you are writing about. Many people think that you have to pay to get a lot of traffic, but there…

Its funny how fast time flies when you are busy and enjoying things. June when by so fast it’s crazy! I really hope the summer isn’t like this! I have been busy with of course ThinkComputers and adjusting to life in the new apartment, which I love. As promised I will have a post about the new apartment very soon….
