Techtime Journey just got updated. We now have a new look and a Facebook page open (www.facebook.com/TechtimeJourney) where you can follow us more easier than ever. Also now when you open a post you will see Facebook like and subscribe buttons. Do remember that if you are not so keen on Facebook you can always follow us with RSS feed (which is located on a sidebar). Also a schedule calendar was added so you could see more easily what is coming next. By the way if you do have a topic in mind which you would like me to cover just drop a comment to me (for example to the most recent post) and I will get back to you.
One further announce: near future plans also include Twitter and possibly a Youtube chanel so stay tuned.
