Strategy in TECH...
As I write this, it is exactly one month to the day since I was involved in an accident that ended with me in the hospital for three days. That was a frightening wake-up call that resulted in my medical team shifting into high gear and conducting all sorts of assessments, diagnoses…and, recommendations for an effective recuperation process. What is a primary recuperation technique? Read on…
Now just hours away from welcoming in the New Year, it’s time to say goodbye to 2024, a year that was tougher than many expected – and hello to 2025, a new year like many others that offers a promise of new ideas and new opportunities.
Well, here we are again at the end of another eventful year in tech. And it’s that time of the year when I reveal Strata-gee’s Top Ten Stories of the Year for 2024 – another consequential year for the technology industry. Can you guess what the top stories were this year? I can just about guarantee none of you can guess the Top Story of 2024, because it shocked even me!
Readers came through again, delivering another record year for Strata-gee in 2024! Not only is it another all-time record in terms of website content consumption, it’s the third such record in a row! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support of readers who continue to select Strata-gee.com as a primary resource for industry news and views. Considering that 2024 was a tough year for most media, I guarantee you that I will not to take your support for granted.
For reasons I’ll explain in some detail below, I recently posted a story that was not entirely as it seems. Since I deeply value my relationship with Strata-gee readers and always strive to bring you the absolute truth, I have decided for the sake of transparency to explain to you what I did and why I made the choices I made. You can decide for yourself if you feel that I did the right thing.
I hope everyone has a HAPPY 4TH OF JULY with lots of family, frisbees, hot dogs and fun!! Thanks for reading Strata-gee!!
If this is your first visit to Strata-gee, let me thank you for taking some of your valuable time to learn more about this website and to discover what I hope will become a valuable resource for you. Strata-gee was launched officially back in 2012, but unofficially it goes back even further than that – with our archives holding posts from all the way back in 2009. It’s a rich library of compelling content…all at your fingertips.
Holy cow! You guys are amazing! You’ve pushed Strata-gee over the finish line with another record year in 2021! A year ago, I wasn’t sure that was going to be possible, but the data are clear – Strata-gee set many new records this year thanks to the incredible support of Strata-gee readers.
In compiling this list of top 10 Strata-gee stories of 2021, I’m reminded that we entered 2021 with the fervent hope that it would be a return to “normal” after a year of dealing with a national pandemic that forced a global recession and – at least initially – massive disruption of business. Then, over the course of 2020, we got past that first impact, adapted our businesses, and almost all survived.
But as 2021 continued down the same basic path, Strata-gee readers developed a voracious appetite for content – driving Strata-gee’s pageview numbers to all-new record highs.
Residential Tech Today Editor Jeremy Glowacki interviewed Ted Green – yeah, that’s me – for their podcast which is available in both audio-only or audio/video formats. What a weird experience it was for me! I’m used to being the questioner…not the questioned. Especially when you consider the fact that Jeremy and I are friends and talk frequently about everything from the business to family and friends – it was strange when he invited me to be on the podcast and shifted into professional editor mode.
And, he asked real questions – such as why Strata-gee can sometimes be controversial and how I came to this role.
