Retiring StarterTech
Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end.
StarterTech was the idea of my mother, and was envisioned as a site that would put technology in the simplest terms possible so that even someone like my dad could understand it. We launched it on April 12, 2008, and while we plugged away at it, it has just never quite lived up to our expectations.
When I purchased FunJug a few months ago, and it had absolutely abysmal traffic, after just a few months of working at it, it is out-performing StarterTech by a significant amount. I kept working at, but if anything traffic was just getting worse. I started considering closing it, and then on Sunday, by 3 PM CST it had had exactly one visitor … yep, one. So I decided to at least shelve the blog for now until I can rethink it some and maybe come at it from a different angle.
For now the site will stay as is, I just won’t be updating it any more. And, hey, having 30 to 45 minutes of my day back each day isn’t exactly saddening me, but still would have seen the site do better.
