Stefan Neagu’s Summary
Back in 2007, I started a tech related blog on Google's Blogspot platform. After writing a few articles that got very popular and generated significant traffic, I focused on improving my writing skills and developing topics the were popular with the technology market.
I was keen on learning new things about technology and writing soon became more than a hobby. I contributed to a few websites before finally starting my own self hosted blog, after which I joined the MakeUseOf team.
I'm looking forward towards other career opportunities and connecting with tech journalists and bloggers.

the How-to Geek
(Online Media industry)
September 2008 — November 2008 (3 months)
I wrote articles for How-to Geek on a regular 3 per week basis. Many of the articles that were published became very popular on Digg and StumbleUpon and mostly tackled topics like open source and linux. During the first month the 'Tux Geek' section had more than 500 000 pageviews. Unfortunately, my collaboration with the owner was cut short by an unfortunate disagreement on review unit policy.
