TVSnob Experimenting With New Editorial Calendar: Expect More Products And More Deals
Since I began working as editor for TVSnob.com near the end of last September, I've really tried to get a feel for what you, the readers, like to see. It's always tough to begin writing for a site that's been around for a couple of years and continue to please fans of previous editors. What I do know is that you like straight-to-the-core news and reviews about products as well as updates on all the best home theater deals around.
Since I've hopped on board here, I've tried to integrate some of the TV industry happenings that'll eventually have an effect on the products you can buy and the prices you'll pay for them, but boring old news doesn't seem to appeal to most of you. However, because what happens behind the scenes with the likes of TV manufacturers collaborating with each other and the web moving to our TV's and vice versa, I'd come up with what I guess you could call an editorial calendar to keep every happy.
Every day from here on in, we'll try to feature 2-3 articles focused on home theater products and their respective deals, as well as a link post that will feature the business and digital media news that will affect you now and/or in the future. That way, if you care to follow the business of TV, you can just follow the links. Occasionally we'll feature articles related to this type of stuff if it's really interesting, but we'll try this system out and see what you think.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions, email me at jdavey at tvsnob dot com.
September has been an exciting month for both TVSnob and the television industry. With the continuous move by industry giants and startups alike into the so-far harsh terrain of web TV, there seems to be new products and innovative business models debuting on a weekly basis. But, of course, the industry isn't there yet so let's begin in the present.
In the second half of the month, things got really interesting as Samsung was named the top manufacturer of HDTVs in the world. Apple blundered with the first software update for the iPhone which disabled thousands of phones belonging to users that had either used an unlock hack to access other cellular networks than AT&T or installed third-party applications. This drama will play out well into October, if not beyond.
TVSnob also saw a new editor jump on board and begin to cover not only the world of home entertainment television technologies, but also the developing world of web and mobile TV.
October looks to be a fresh start for TVSnob. We'll have a greater mix of informative content covering all aspects of the television industry while still maintaining our up-to-date product reviews. We'll also begin to unleash some great stuff to get you all prepared for Christmas and it's inevitable TV tech buying needs.

Blogpire Productions Blogs Announce Investment in the Planet's Future with Green Tags
What can we say? We really thought our blogs should be a bit greener? As of today, we're going to buy enough Green Tags, also called renewable energy credits, from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, to offset the environmental impact from our hosting and computer operations for the coming year.
Green tags are an investment in the production of renewable energy sources through wind and solar power. Using clean renewable energy reduces emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. By purchasing green tags, Blogpire Productions hopes to lessen our dependence on burning fossil fuels.
We also hope you'll help out as well. Individuals as well any business can buy Green Tags. Please visit the Bonneville Environmental Foundation and purchase Green Tags to offset your use of fossil fuels.
