Dumbing things down

Mobiture started in January of 2009 as a one-stop source for mobile news and reviews. Since then, it has received coverage on many other technology websites such as Engadget, Gizmodo, TUAW, and 9to5mac. While I enjoyed the never-ending race to break stories, I soon realized that running a technology news site alone was next to impossible. For brief periods, I hired other writers to assist with the writing duties, but I never found someone that truly fit what I was looking for.

A little over year ago, I began focusing most of my efforts on YouTube, and less on actual writing. In April of this year, I was accepted into the YouTube Partner Program, which allowed me to monetize my content and make money talking about the thing that I love, technology. Meanwhile, I was left paying hosting fees to keep a website running that wasn't profitable at all.

After some careful consideration, this brings me to today. Mobiture is my brand and will continue to be so. I will continue uploading my videos to YouTube, many of which will be posted on the web page you see currently. In addition to this, I will also post bits of news, thoughts, opinions, and whatever else I see fit. Essentially, as the URL says, this will be the Mobiture Blog

There are many changes happening over the next few months, and I hope many of you will join me on this exciting adventure. Thank you for your continued support, you guys are the best!
