TechRepublic is supposed to be one of the leaders in our Industry as a source of informed comment and help – look at it. Blogs, downloads, forums, webcasts, white papers and more.
Indeed, since I receive emails of some of these things (by request), I am indeed aware of how helpful some can be.
How very, very distressing then, that once a topic disappears from my PC, receovering it again on the site is next to impossible. This is because of the total inadequacy of the TechRepublic search facility.
A massive IT resource, next to useless without the means of accessing it. Don’t believe it? Try this….
Just a week or two ago there was an item (and I might not be able to remember if it was a blog, a forum or a white paper), but it had to do with server operating systems, their current popularity, and it contained a survey. Now with those clues, try to find it in Tech Republic.
You probably won’t, so I now recall the beginning of the title, it was “Do you still support”. Still can’t find it can you?
Now try Google with the same phrase, and it comes first. How VERY embarrassing for the IT experts, don’t you think?
