bitcolumns 2.0. Bolder, Better, Bluer.

We’re back! We’re better! We’re blue? Don’t worry though, there is no reason to be down as we are bringing you brand new features and more starting now and throughout 2009.

Over the last 2 months the guys behind the scenes at bitcolumns (James and Martin, the ones you dont hear about much) have been working their asses off to bring us a brand new design and brand new code. Although we have had problems with servers, illness, and internet connections; we are now very happy to present it to you.

So what have we added?

Today sees the launch of the bitcolumns’ ‘bitcast’ our video podcast (available on Vimeo, Youtube, and iTunes). Through the ‘bitcast’ Sam and Andy bring you the latest news, reviews, and gossip from the world of technology; whilst keeping you up to date with the happenings at bitcolumns.

We have now also launched our “Recommended for students” initiative. Like any award system, this title is given to a product we believe to be useful to our readers; and has performed well in our tests. It is a sign of overall quality, and performance; as well as value for money.

The new site has much more options for keeping up to date with what is happening. As well as RSS (you can choose what you want to be kept up to date with), and email notifications (completely spam free, and we never pass on details); we have added better Twitter integration. Twitter will allow you to keep up to date with the tech scene as it happens, as well as ‘stalk’ our writers.

What about my Comments?

All comments from the old website have been imported into the new one. This means you do not have to worry about reposting your comments.

What is coming?

We started this site with the aim of helping Students find the best products, and deals, for their needs; and we are continuing with this. We are working:

• with companies to secure special offers
• going to plan student based events (read: parties)
• work with universities to ensure a better understanding of consumer technology

All this, and hopefully more, throughout 2009, looks to make this a very exciting year.

Ciao,

The bitcolumns team
