Second Hand Smoke: Tom's Hardware Guide's first blog

Ok, we admit it. We are late to the party. Blogs are flourishing everywhere and editors at Tom’s Hardware Guide are still attached only to traditional types of journalism. Well, I have to stop right here.

We at Tom’s Hardware Guide are fascinated by the idea of blogs and their functional interface that allows us to communicate directly with you, our reader. Up until now we watched a trend in which even the most renowned publications in the US embrace blogging and cherish it as a revolution in reporting. To be honest, you won’t see blogging to replace traditional journalism on our site, but the blogs to come on tomshardware.com will open you a view beyond the pages of Tom’s Hardware Guide.

We invite you to browse those pages and get insight in what is going on behind the stage and to communicate directly with us. But remember, we are learning and we hope to get lots of feedback from you.

To get our blogs off to a start, we pushed Omid Rahmat, General Manager and Publisher of TG Publishing, the parent of Tom’s Hardware Guide, Tom’s Networking Guide and M2 Research, into the front line. Is there a more suited person to provide you first-hand info about Tom’s Hardware Guide ? Over the next few weeks we aim to continuously add blogs and of course we will keep you informed about it.
