Take a look at Douglas Adams Technology Blog. This is a blog about the latest technology developments. I really liked this site because it also is a handy reference tool for technology for dummies, me being one of them. This site represents itself as a good source of information for consumers looking to purchase or upgrade anything technology related. Recent posts include “The Zune vs. Ipod Debateâ€, “Noise Canceling Headphones – Pros and Consâ€, “How to buy an Ipodâ€, and “Hard Drive Size – Why It’s Important†(apparently size DOES matter!). For those of you that find it difficult to understand the difference between gigs and pods and bits and zunes, this site comes recommended as a good foundation when you are in the market for a new product. Stop in here before your next visit to Best Buy or Future Shop, and you will find a very comprehensive and easy to follow guide to your technology related questions.
Navigation on this site was fairly straightforward. The most recent post is “Computer Keyboard Cleaning – A Quick Guideâ€. I couldn’t help but look down at my own keyboard when reading this site and noticing the effect of a writer’s life on it. Now I know how to get some of those coffee marks out safely, as I had been avoiding the task for fear of damaging my equipment. The font is a great size and is easy to read, and the posts clearly list out the steps necessary to make the move the post is referring to. i.e. cleaning your keyboard or buying that iPod. On the left hand side is the blog’s navigation bars where you will find a list of links on a variety of topics – book reviews, alternative health information, technology related links, politics, and even weight loss and survey blogs. You will find very little advertising or pictures on this site but you will find a lot of archived information. This comes useful if you have a specific question that isn’t contained in the recent posts. I put in a search for “hard drive†and got a very comprehensive list in return so the site is well informed.
I am going to go and give this a 2.8 for a rating, but I am still bookmarking the site for my own reference. I think this site needs just a few tweaks to become fairly useful to any computer or technology user. The content rates the highest marks as it is a very user friendly guide to just about anything technology related. The uniqueness marks go down a bit, but only because technology blogs are a dime a dozen nowadays and this one needs some work to stand out. There are no pictures at all on the site, and adding them would certainly spice it up considerably. Activity needs some work as well with posts coming in every four days or so. The appearance will be helped with some graphics and maybe some more advertising on the site. For now, the site is completely text-driven which makes it come across as a little boring, and that fact overshadows the usefulness of the blog.
