BlackPlanet Future Tech Group Polls - Past, Present, and Future

Posted

I'm not certain how I am going to work this all out, but I would like to use this as a place to keep polls fresh in the group area, but also respect and retain the retired polls that many of the newer members have not had the opportunity to take yet.

BlackPlanet Future Tech - Moving Forward

BlackPlanet Future Tech 2.0

http://groups.blackplanet.com/gadgets

I purposefully created this group with a free flow format because I did not want to limit the type of topics that would be discussed by the members as long as it was related to technology. I still think that it is the right approach, but it is missing something... exactly what that something is? I don't quite know, but I am dedicated to figuring out the answer.

In the meantime, I will be introducing a "Topic of the Month" thread to steer the conversation. You can still post new topics, but I am taking on more responsibility for making sure there is engaging conversation taking place. I am NOT a technology expert nor have I ever claimed to be, but between all of us we should be able to find the answers to the questions that may arise when a fellow member is in need.

Also in addition to broad technology questions I may start to focus on BP related questions about upgrading current services available on BP or creating new products that may spark your interest and allow you to participate on BP in ways that are more convenient for you. This may be getting a little ahead of myself and I hope to figure out how to tackle it before the end of the year. Regardless I have to try, besides what is the point of being future oriented if we only focus on what we have today?



Once again I would like to thank everyone for their participation in the growth of this group. We are now at 20,000+ members, while it is a great start we are barely at 1/10th of our potential with nearly a quarter million (250,000) contacts added to THIS profile. Come on out and join up.  Also feel free to add me as a friend.

Sincerely,

Economics and Consumer Electronics

Posted

These are unprecedented times. Our insatiable appetite for the latest and greatest collides with with the need to be frugal in this global downturn. Giants in consumer electronics like Circuit City are no more, the big 3 automakers in Detroit are going through continuous changes... who would have thought bankruptcy would be an inevitable conclusion 5 or 10 years ago?

Technological improvements march forward, birthdays and holidays fast approach and our eyes glaze as E3 is being broadcast on G4 seemingly 24/7. Make no mistake about it, this is a buyers market as inventory needs to move off of the shelves. Patience and diligent shopping will be key. There are bargains to be found.

Just make sure you cover your mortgage/rent and internet bills so you can be here on BP to share how much money you saved on the latest slice of tech geek heaven with the rest of us.
