When I started the Tech Gang Show website in November 2008 it was going to be a main place to access the TGS podcast. Before the show went live one of the co-hosts (Dave Senior) thought that we could make the site bigger than just a portal to our show. I totally agreed with him on this.
Unfortunately, because of the holidays, pesonal comittments and life (in general) this idea never came to fruition. Well, in July, I plan on resurrecting the website (including the podcast) and to help bring the original idea of TGS to life.
Along with the podcast, I would like to have TGS become a tech site with articles written by the hosts (and fans). I would like to have this site be similar to cnet.com in some respects, but entirely user-driven.
I would like to have TGS to be an extension of the podcast. For example, if there was a new game that we didn’t review on the show, someone else could write their own review of the game and post the article on our website.
Below is a basic idea of how I would like the articles to appear on the website. Keep in mind, that this is subject to change, but the basic information will still be there.
Every contributor to the website would get a brief bio of themselves and links to their projects/websites at the end of the article. We don’t want anyone to be ignored and want to thank them for helping build this site into something more than just a podcast website.
Of course, there is one thing that will help make this website what I would like it to be - you! Keep checking back to this site for more information on how you can submit your own stories to the TGS website.
If you have any questions, please shoot an email to talk@techgangshow.com and I’ll get back to you as soon a possible.
