Presenting NextPowerUp
Presenting NextPowerUp, our sister tech-publication in the works, designed with a bigger canvas. TechPowerUp established itself as one of the top PC hardware publications thanks to our pursuit for quality reviews and relentless news delivery. We decided it was time to put these core ideals to use, in addressing the much larger consumer electronics and gadgets markets, without disturbing TechPowerUp's focus on PC enthusiast content, one of its hallmarks.
NextPowerUp is designed to keep you up to speed on the latest in over 20 markets (and growing), each with its own content channel, and editors hand-picked for them. These include Audio (personal, home, professional, concert), Business, Cinema (filming, production, exhibition), Desktops (pre-built desktop PCs), Displays (signage, projectors), Gadgets, Gaming (games, game development, gaming industry, consoles), Internet (the business of WWW), Networking (social networking), Notebooks (notebooks, Ultrabooks, netbooks), Phones (of all shapes and sizes), Photo & Video (cameras of all shapes and sizes), Politics (industry soap-opera), Robots (outside assembly lines), Science (popular science, space exploration), Software, Storage, Tablets, Televisions (TVs and technologies built around them), Transportation (wheels that don't run on fossil fuels), and Wireless (Cellular carriers, commercial WiFi).Sounds good? We're looking for talented and motivated people who would like to join us on our journey into the post-PC era. There are various positions open:
1. In less than 270 characters (use a word processor to count), come up with a crisp, catchy, and concise paragraph on any one of the following recent developments:2. To supplement your CV, informally tell us a bit about yourself (to the extant you're comfortable with, we won't judge you on that). Tell us how you developed a passion for the area(s) of interest you'd like to work with us for.

Oh yeah, congrats!! I will check it multiple times daily as I do with TPU. :) :toast:
Haha I just noticed I now have two *PU mini circle logos right next to each other (without a name next to them) in my bookmarks bar. Looks like red and green christmas bulbs, fitting, and intentional? :O 8) :p
I smell another site added to my home page
like any smart businessman, w1zzy knows that change = hate.
Suggestion for the future when more channel content comes into play :
Make each of the four rows that display content channel specific, and give them forward and back buttons so that a user can scroll sideways through the channel's content.
Allow the users' to customize which 4 channels show up by default on the home page for them (using cookies or whatever).
The home page is a bit busy at the moment, but I am confident the web designers and developers will address aesthetic issues as time goes by.
Anyways, good job TPU! Huge potential for NPU.
:lovetpu::peace:
The website should have been special somehow
Even though your success is 100% guaranteed
I would think that the articles on the home page need to take a new approach for organizational and flow purposes. Just my opinion.
I also think you need to rebrand. Nextpowerup is very ok to the TPU community. To the wider world? Not.
Also, as a presentation to get work, look at my website.
If you are interested pm me
the site is still usable on 1024
