Late last year it became clear to us that The Tech FAQ was technologically out-of-date and that continuing to invest in the current home-grown CMS was a strategy for long-term failure.

I made a radical decision to begin development on a completely new platform and to roll out a significantly enhanced set of features.  Today, I would like to ask you to help test the new platform, tell us what you like and don’t like, suggest new features, and help us harden the platform before it goes live in real production.

The next generation of The Tech-FAQ is online at TopBits.com and includes features such as:

• A forum for tech talk
• Member profiles, with photo and video sharing
• A blog for each Tech-FAQ member
• A glossary of IT terminology
• Games
• An enhanced user interface

Most importantly, this new platform adds something very important to our web site — you.  The current Tech-FAQ.com is very good at sharing information from us to you, but that’s only half a conversation.  We would like to hear from you and that’s why we’re investing in this major upgrade.

Please, visit TopBits.com and help us build a better platform for all of us.
