The growing tech support Web site, Tiplet.com, has launched a sleek, new design and added Macintosh advice to its already-impressive collection of tips for computer users.
The site is dedicated to solving computer users' problems with help from established computer experts who are also professional technology journalists.
Tiplet.com launched in late December 2008 and already nearly 250 high-quality posts taking on a broad range of computer and consumer electronics questions and issues have been published on the site.
In February, the site received a complete makeover that highlights the wide variety of tech tips offered and identifies, with distinctive icons, the categories for each tip. Search boxes are prominently displayed as are links to the most popular articles.
"The new design really lets Tiplet shine," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "The focus is on the great content, with everything easy to find so readers don't waste time looking for the answers to their computer questions."
Savetz is also excited about the addition of Macintosh tips to the site. "When I started Tiplet.com, I already had a team of expert authors lined up," he said. "Tiplet's writers with expertise in the Windows, Windows Vista and Linux operating systems have been doing a wonderful job, but as a Mac fan myself I was especially pleased when I brought a couple of Mac experts on board in early March."
Savetz is himself a longtime technology journalist and Internet expert who has been online since the early 1990s. Tiplet's expert authors also have extensive backgrounds as technology journalists, software developers, IT consultants and instructors.
"I'm also pleased with the reader response to Tiplet.com," Savetz said. "More and more readers are writing in with specific questions, and the expert authors love to take those on."
Tiplet.com balances posts on specific reader questions with answers to questions that are often asked in online forums but don't always receive a clear response. From virus worries to how to make the most of computer applications, Tiplet has already touched on many problems common to both "newbie" and advanced computer users.
Email, social networking, digital media, computer memory, privacy and online computing are among the categories of posts commonly seen on Tiplet.com.
"With three answers typically posted, blog-style, each day, your computer question may have already been answered," Savetz said of the easily searchable site. "If not, it's easy to write in and possibly have one of Tiplet's expert authors address your question specifically."
"I want Tiplet to be a one-stop resource where topics are covered by someone with the experience and authority to present the correct answer in a manner that can be easily understood," Savetz said.
Recent Tiplet posts have included: understanding IP addresses, choosing a gaming mouse, creating screenshots on Mac OS X, using speech-to-text software, minimizing spam, and identifying virus threats. There are also topical posts such as how to buy a new PC with Windows XP rather than Vista, and weighing the pros and cons of Internet Explorer 8.
Tiplet has a free newsletter to which thousands of subscribers have already opted in. There's also an RSS feed and Tiplet is on Twitter so readers can know right away when new tips are posted.
Tiplet is owned by Savetz Publishing, Inc. Savetz Publishing creates useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
