Longest standing writer on Tech Digest
There’s a slightly bizarre concept. Now that Dave and Al have moved on ttto new things, I find myself the longest standing current writer on Tech Digest.
Granted, others like Ashley and Kat have worked for longer on the publication overall, but they too have moved on. I’ve outlived three editors, and yet have only been working full-time with Shiny Media for two years.
That’s how fast things change in the online media world. Seems fast to me, anyway.
Still, there’s something nice about being part of the virtual furniture and watching new talent come through, some just cutting their teeth in the world of paid blogging just as I was in 2006.
For all the “joys” of the publishing system and a few quirks here and there, I love writing for Tech Digest. Of course there are trolls to deal with, and people trying to sell mobile phones and dodgy medicine, but then every blog contends with them.
Here’s to the next two years, nay decades, of Tech Digest!

I feel a bit teary reading this, Andy!

Nice one, Andy. I think you’re right about online media changing fast – after two days contributing to TD I’m already not the newest person on there now that Michael has started!

Of course it’s a pleasure having you on board, you old timer! Here’s to the next decade at Tech Digest.

There’s still me as well, I guess, but I don’t write for TD much at all these days (in fact, I can’t remember the last time) so you win!

Oh yes, sorry Katie. Indeed, I can’t remember when you last did, though I see you’re writing more on Shiny Shiny again? Or maybe I’ve just become a little more observant.

I helped out when Susi and Lucy were both away on Shiny Shiny. It was great fun, but temporary! I write for quite a few of the blogs (apart from fashion – that would be a disaster!) when there’s something relevant I can write about.
