The New Site Has Launched
As many of you know, I have been working on a new site along with various other projects that have taken up a lot of my time and have pulled me away from this site. Well I am finally happy to announce that the new site has launched and I would like to invite you to join us at EmergingTechs.com. The articles are similar to what you have seen on CaseyTech but the goal of the new site is to to be more community focused and have multiple authors contributing content besides myself. The new site also also has forums where you can post questions and create discussion and I would eventually like to open the site up to guest blogging once there is a large enough user base. Please be sure to redirect your RSS feeds as well as your bookmarks to the new site as this site will no longer be active. I want to thank everyone who participated in the discussions and all of your feedback.
