A Wee Bit of Shameless Self Promotion
If you've known me for a while you probably know that I am a very active reviewer on Amazon. What started out as a casual activity motivated by informing others about the quality of some books that I've read, has by now become one of my main personal projects. I've managed to make it into the top 10 reviewers list, and this has imbued me with a decent sense of personal accomplishment. However, the competition for the top few spots on that list is a fierce contact sport – maintaining that ranking takes a lot of effort, and as I try to invest more of my time to some of my other projects it's very likely that I will not be able to maintain a top 10 spot in a long run.
This is why I've been trying to diversify my online reviewing efforts. I've started posting on all of Amazon's various international sites (UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), started posting my reviews on Barnes and Noble's website, weRead, Goodreads, Lunch, Google books, etc. In addition, I've created a Twitter account and a Facebook page for my reviewing activities.
One of the product categories that I particularly enjoy reviewing is the consumer electronics. Like every other normal guy, I love them gadgets and can't get enough of them. I've been fortunate enough that I've been able to obtain many electronic devices for review though Amazon's Vine program, so I don't have to bust my bank balance in order to feed my gadget cravings. I've also decided to start a separate website where I'd be able to post just my electronics and technology reviews (as well as tech books) – Tunguz Review. I expect to use that website to also blog about anything and everything that catches my attention in the wide world of technology. Hopefully I'll be able to post blog updates there on a more or less regular basis. For my personal blog you can still check this site, rarely as I post here.
