Techsperts Talks About is where you’ll find our favorite technology tips, tricks, and information. In this, our first post of the series, we’ll share where we go to find accurate product reviews and up-to-date news coverage.
If there’s one thing the Internet is full of, it’s information: good, bad, and indifferent, you can find it on the net. From laugh-out-loud YouTube clips to the latest radar map of local weather, it’s all online.
This plethora of facts and opinions becomes a problem when it’s time to do research. What sites do you trust? How can you sort through the flotsam of this information ocean and reel in a fish or two worth keeping?
Easy. You shop smart.
How to Research Tech Information
Finding tech news isn’t hard; a quick Google search will bring up dozens of well-known, big-name sites. And for the most part, you can feel comfortable using these sites as spot-on sources for the latest information. News and magazine sites like Forbes.com, CNN.com, and MSN.com are great places to keep up with general news and events. The big sites aren’t all that different from each other; our personal favorites are based on the details of the sites rather than the overall services they offer. (We’ll unveil our picks in just a minute.)
Finding product reviews isn’t hard either. For a purely customer-driven review site, it’s hard to beat Amazon, simply because the online superstore is so massive and so popular. Yet product reviews are often biased. While a decent overall picture of a product can be gained by looking at the reviews in total, it’s risky to base decisions on a single rave (or rotten) review.
Here’s our advice if you’re looking for product reviews: use several trustworthy, professional review sites like the ones below to anchor your decision, and then use the overall totality of the user reviews as a secondary source to confirm or rethink your choice.
