Paul Hales, former editor of Incisive Media’s leading website theinquirer.net is joining up with online publisher and tech ad sales network Net Communities to launch a new website, THINQ.co.uk.
THINQ.co.uk launches in January 2010, and will offer UK technology news stories daily.
“We will combine exclusive stories with first class presentation and an independently-minded approach to elevate the site above the crowd,” says Hales
“We will represent all shades of opinion in IT including the gripes and grumbles we all have about poor service, bad product, waste, marketing spin and greedy management. But we will also praise real innovation, highlight products and services which are truly worth buying and support and tip companies worth watching.”
Net Communities Managing Director Andy Evans added: “We think there’s a definite gap in the market for a hard-hitting, independent tech news site that will help key decision makers plan and buy their IT.
“It will complement our existing tech site ITProPortal.com which now leads the UK market in tech news commentary. It’s something we have been looking at for a while but we needed Paul’s availability to make it a reality.”
Hales has been writing professionally on IT for over 20 years. He is currently recruiting journalists across all continents.
“I’ve seen the IT industry grow from spotty pre-pubescence to virtual hegemony and it’s time it began acting responsibly,” he says. “Even the most willfully myopic must realize that the 21st Century poses challenges we have never had to face before. Many believe technology is the answer. But the best advice is to Thinq before you act.”
