Today is the day when we've got a 1200 Rs tablet PC available offering Android and Touch Screen, sponsored by Govt. Another side, we've people who love to buy high-end gadgets. Almost everyone has a Desktop or a Laptop, or have to use one in their office. The time is technologically ripe. With so many options, we do have so many decisions to make and also so many problems coming daily. A machine will always give a problem, and whether it is Android or Mac or Windows, or even an Office Suit, we're bound to get some. And there's a never-ending feeling if we're making full use of our multi-purpose device and not making it work the way our brain does, only 5 percent or so?
Thankfully, there are some places where we can find solutions to problems, and tips to do more with our devices. When you open Techcular.com, you see a simple interface, with the first post generally being a sticky one, with the giveaway of the month. We'll talk about that later. The next ten posts are the latest offering from Techcular, blog entries about the latest the technology has to offer you. Then you get the option to browse through next few pages, reading the posts in chronological order. It's the trend of the day, latest is always the first. No complaints there, in fact it's the simplicity of use that I was amazed with.
There is a button with endless possibilities on the top right corner, opposite to the Techcular logo and name on the top-left corner. It is called Google Custom Search. I love it the most because I can't be sure whether what I'm searching is on the first page of even first 5 pages or so. I type what I'm looking for, and within milliseconds, Mr. Google gives me what I want, like magic. Obviously, it has been posted there before, that's why it appears. Also, a blog like Techcular has innumerable posts and hence to find the one you're looking for is not as simple as ABC. With Google Custom Search, thankfully, it is as easy.
Above the name and the logo are four pagelinks visible in almost every website, and frankly, very important. The first one says 'About Us', You already know what it does. In addition to the background, it also helps you find Techcular and the chief editor, Soumya Pratihari, on various social platforms. Archives provides an easy bulletted interface to finding posts in a particular month or by a particular author. Privacy Policy is, frankly, what very few read, neither did I. Contact Us option gives an easy interface to send feedback, suggestion, or queries.
Below the line featuring logo and name, and the Google Custom Search, is the headings, the taglines used to separate the articles, or group them nicely. IPHONE, Mac, Android, Gadgets, Telecom, Internet, Technology, Computer, Softwares, Gaming, Giveaways. The last one is the best obviously, but with these easy options, you don't know need to worry about finding the right column, although I'd still prefer Mr. Google if my requirement isn't on first page.
Now a couple of mistakes/things not done perfectly. First of all, I am always amazed why people use the term Softwares. It's not a term. Software in itself is plural, as well as singular, depending on requirement. Softwares is not a dictionary term, only Software is. Second, while writing this review, I found the first two posts under Softwares catered to Mobile Phones, an LG on top followed by Samsung. In Gaming, at the time of writing, top post was Canon Camcorder. The other columns are fine.
Now the main point, the Giveaways. That's what gets us charged up. I missed winning a Samsung laptop, giving a go at this one. However, it's great to be able to win something by spending some time over the internet, probably the one which I waste in facebook. I won Aakash Tablet recently, in fact got to know just yesteray from another blog PriceIndia.org from the same man. And hopefully, I'll make a debut in Amazon buying soon. Though whether or not I win, I know where to go when my Aakash Tablet arrives and I wish to do more with it. This is the place.
