34 Recommended Software Downloads

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by mystikmedia, Oct 28, 2008.

    After A LOT of work. I have finally completed my latest Gadget Advisor article for 34 recommended software downloads. Phew. I'm hoping that it will get picked up / do well on Digg or StumbleUpon. I have submitted them. Not much else I can do (I'm not a guru like a lot of people with that stuff). Anyway, what do you guys think?

    Thats a very nice ..well written article

    I think it has potential in digg or stumble.

    also, you could have made like affiliate links to those sites, to perhaps rake in some cash (maybe you did this, I dont know)

    good luck,

    sean

    I'd say Digg worthy

    Like above...couldn't hurt to add your affiliate link when available.

    There's enough good info that it wouldn't distract from the content

    hmm, most of them are paid...
    I don't think people spend so much on paid softwares when similar free versions are available.

    You should've put GIMP instead of photoshop, since GIMP is free.

    Plus, there is no anti-viruses and firewalls in that list.

    Cool site.... although it would have been better if you had of put 34 recommended FREE downloads, lol.

    I really like your logo and the layout goes really well with it.

    Any reason for specifically coming up with the number 34 ? :D

    I'm not particularly perturbed about the lack of anti virus software on that list since many people already know AVG and Avira. Won't hurt to add it, but if you could only include a certain number, then they'll be on the chopping block.

    I see that you already have a review of Roboform. Maybe something similar with the other 33 ? It would cost you a fair bit of money, plus time and effort in the form of screenshots and reviews, but it would be worth it. Especially with some of the paid ones- people need to know why they are superior to the free alternatives out there. And some of the publishers might be willing to give it free in exchange for an indepth review.

    It is certainly better than most articles out there, but I feel it needs some more meat before thinking of hitting the front page of Digg.

    I dugg this the other day. A great post.

    @MeetHere, don't complain some software is paid when he listed open office - which basically saves me paying like £150 for MS office.
