Teckedin Journey

Teckedin.com started as a custom two-sided platform in 2017. Its focus was on technology hardware and software vendors on one side and end users on the other.

I wanted to build a site where end users could access good content like white papers and reports without giving up their personal information. End users would log in to see the great content, and vendors could share it and have links to their sites.

___________________________________________

This concept proved a mistake as the vendor community was reluctant to share their valuable content without personal information in return. And users had to create an account (another username and password to remember) to access the content.

 

I shifted gears and started over from scratch in 2021. Teckedin has been built as a public knowledge base using the Document360 platform.

We started populating our knowledge base in May of 2021.

Little did we know of the changes that would occur in November 2022 when ChatGPT was released.

In a sense we were ahead of the game.

Not everyone has the time to use ChatGPT or other tools or try prompt after prompt.

Teckedin.com is a free tech-only knowledge base where we hand-curate content on AI, Data/Analytics, automation, information technology, and cybersecurity from many well-respected sources.

We help CIOs, CISOs, IT Managers and Staff, technology startups, and the vendors who support them stay current and relevant.

We don't use automation tools to populate our content. Instead, we invest significant time and effort in hand-curation, carefully reviewing and selecting every link we share.

Some have said, “That’s a lot of work,” and it feels like what they really wanted to say was, “How foolish.”

Others are taken aback and gain a new respect for what we are doing. When they start clicking on some of the links and curations we have,their eyes open up, and they see the value.

Here is what we offer.

• We curate and categorize business technology information from numerous sites everyday. We make sure that the content we put on our platform has a share     button and a direct link back to the content. No company is paying us to put their news or articles on our site. We curate what is interesting and applicable to private and public entities.

• We have no login or sign-up. When a visitor clicks on a link or an article to read, there are no requirements to provide personal information. They get sent directly to the published content.

• We reach out to many technology experts we see posting on LinkedIn, Medium and other places. We are glad to put others' content on our site, enabling them to reach a larger audience.

• Our site is structured as a self-service knowledge base. Visit us on your timeline and terms.

• Our goal is to share content that will enlighten our readers, give them new perspectives, and keep them current in the ever-changing world of business technology.

• We have no algorithms running. There are no hallucinations.

How did we fund our knowledge base and how is it supported now?

Teckedin is self-funded. We have spent the last three years building our knowledge base and creating the value to justify asking for sponsors.

We now have sponsorships for many of our curations. You may see a banner/link at the top of some of our collections. We hope that you will visit our sponsors and give them an opportunity to show you their offerings, if they are applicable to your needs.

We do not collect personal information, so no individual data is passed on to our sponsors. Our sponsors understand the value of sharing information without any strings attached and how this increases the likelihood that a person will visit a vendor if they are interested.

If you want to increase visibility for your product or service, here are some details on our sponsor opportunities.

We always welcome feedback or suggestions on how we can make our knowledge base more valuable and useful to you.
