MacVoices #13135: Jim Tanous Launches The New Tech News Site, TekRevue

TekRevue is the newest tech news and information site on the web, and we’ve got the founder and head guy, Jim Tanous, to tell us about it. Jim talks about why, in an already rich environment, he wanted to do something a little different, and what TekRevue will bring to the party. Jim explains what aspects of tech (and not just Apple and Mac) they will and won’t cover, why gaming will have a place on the site, and why he is taking a non-standard approach to hardware and software reviews. The challenges and benefits of covering the tech world when not sitting in the middle of Silicon Valley, how his previous experiences have shaped his journalistic style and more are all part of a discussion about the birth of this new site.
