I must admit, most of the time I’m lazy and post up press releases of tech companies, and not writing much about them. Coming home from work, I maybe have a 30 minute time slot to do as much news posting as I can. That is why in 2017 we will be looking to add more news posters from around the world so that FunkyKit can bring you all the latest and greatest tech news.
Aside from news posting, our content can pretty much be split into a few categories: reviews, video podcasts and live coverage of tech events.
For reviews we are fortunate enough to have an expansive collection of vendors who are gracious enough to send us samples of their latest gear. For those companies that we have not reviewed your products in the past, don’t worry, we will be getting to you in 2017! Reviewing a product really takes a lot of time and effort; videos and editing on some reviews, photos, research, benchmarks and tests, and writing it all up. This is quite a time consuming process and a big thanks goes out to all out reviews from across the globe. After that, there’s always a time to reflect on how and what could have been done better; could I have ran more tests? more background information? or how I could take better photos?
We apologize that we have not done a video podcast in the last fortnight, with the festive period we have been bombed with mods and reviews, getting them all ready and scheduled so that you will get to read one at least on a daily basis. For those that have watched our video podcasts will know that we have tried various mediums, we have finally given up on YouTube and Periscope and have settled on Facebook Live, and live recording so that Winston can edit it later and upload to our servers. It is all a bit of fun to let the viewers know the latest goings on at FunkyKit, and we’ve developed a tendency to announce competition winners live on air, so tune in!
As for our FunkyKit live coverage of tech events, our FK-East team has really excelled this year. Kicking off the calendar we visited the HKEF Spring Edition, followed by Computex 2016, back to smaller local vendor visits, Xiaomi Press Event, HK Computer Faire, HKEF Autumn Edition, Zotac 30th Anniversary Press Event, and Zotac factory visit. Remember that this is mainly just a 3 man team (Loy, Winston and myself) with Lyrica helping out with the videos.
Being geographically based in Hong Kong, it is so much more easier (and cheaper) for the FK-East team to go to these events based in Asia. With CES just around the corner, we have unfortunately not had the budget or sponsorship to send our US team to attend, but we are sure we can rectify this next year! So looking forward to 2017, expect more live events coverage from FunkyKit!!
