Peter, 

Yes Peter, we currently have no ads, economy has had a thing on the industry. We however do sponsored stories for products, especially for small and medium companies http://www.techweez.com/sponsored/

We do not dumb down content for the mass market, we try to work the best fit between tech heavy content and content that would get a sizeable readership. We do take in opinion pieces, no need to create a special guest column, anyone wishing to tell a story can do so in the Editorial section. See examples: 

Opinion: Kenya’s Privacy of Electronic Money at Risk by Micheal Kimani

Understanding the IP Rating for Devices You Use by George Warutere

Regarding IFMIS, we try avoid writing topics we are not strong on. Writing on IFMIS would require dedicated resources to follow a story in order to make sense to those who it would be targeted at. And right now getting interviews on IFMIS is not the easiest of things, especially since it borders on being political. 

We would however welcome anyone to write an opinion on it. I have reached out to Bitange recently on this, but he'd just done a piece on Daily Nation. 

Regards,

Martin Gicheru

You have zero ads on the first view port. Standardmedia has two, Nation has none, BD has 3. Does this mean you dont make your money from ads.

You could add a "guest" section whose content is not dumbed down for the mass market; e.g. @Odhiambo writing about BGB or such, @Eugene on scaling out, @areba on... etc etc

Why not do a feature on the infamous IFPMS? That thing is giving Kenyan software a bad rep.

Now that we're here. What would members wish we changed over at Techweez. We thrive when we have the community on our side. And it's good that we are being put to task when we are considered wrong. If we weren't it would mean we are invisible.
