Just received
the following email… It’s now official! Hello bloggers, you are receiving this email to let you know that Geeks with Blogs (http://geekswithblogs.net) has been acquired by my company, Watson Technology Group. Jeff Julian started
the site in 2003
and since then him
and John Alexander (AJI Software) have done a great job with
the community. I am a long time friend of theirs
and I was actually one of
the first bloggers on
the site in 2003. I am excited to take over
the reins
and I have a lot of plans to improve
the blog platform
and community. My goal is to make
the site
the #1 blogging site for all IT professionals.
The site currently has over 3,000 bloggers
and has received 75,000,000 website visitors over
the last 5 years. Some of
the planned improvements in
the coming months: Overall look
and feel upgrades to
the site Improve editor for blog postings including support for code formatting
and uploading images Mobile support
and more responsive design templates Improve
community side of
the site to drive more traffic between blogs Highlight top articles
and bloggers by redesigning
the home page ...
and lots of other things. One of
the delicate balances I want to ensure is that each blogger can maintain their own identity
and blog personality but at
the same time be part of
the community of bloggers.
The community helps everyone receive more blog traffic
and visibility.
The blog templates need to be somewhere between Facebook
and Myspace if you know what I mean. Since this website is designed to be a
community, I would love to have your feedback
and hear your ideas. Please submit idea via UserVoice at http://geekswithblogs.uservoice.com or email
[email protected] at anytime. For those who are interested to know more about me, here is a link to my LinkedIn profile
and you can follow me on Twitter @mattwatson81. LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mattwatsonkc Thanks, Matt Watson Geeks with Blogs Member of Geeks with Blogs Unsubscribe
