Question: Who is the target group? IT geeks like you guys or everyday users of consumer electronic goods or would it be those interested in tech but not so good at it?. The best in my view would be a review of gadgets like phones, Cameras, DVD players, TVs howto's etc things that everyone uses with a dash of next gen tech in there. For more IT geeks a magazine or a webcast would be a better medium to use in my opinion.--On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
