Within the next month, we’re going to be announcing a lot of changes. Here’s a first wave. First, many MechaWorks sites will be rebranded. New names, more staff, same quality coverage. Certainly not all the sites, but we’ve got a solid brand growing, and we want to make a few changes now that will reinforce [...]

After six years of being on the web, MechaWorks is finally going social. The focus for this event will be on WordPress, the software that powers the core of all MechaWorks sites. We’re hosting the first Silicon Valley WordPress meetup, and we hope to make it a recurring thing. It’s one way we can help [...]

Today, we’re taking the wraps off of PhoneCashback.net. PhoneCashback.net is a major expansion to our existing cashback offerings, which we introduced last year on PhoneNews.com.

Making good on our commitment to launch one more new site in 2008, on December 31 we launched PhoneNews.com Cashback. While we originally intended to launch it on its own, as a standalone web site, we felt it would be best to offer it as a part of PhoneNews.com. PhoneNews.com Cashback is all about giving [...]

Good question! In June, MechaWorks was born. Using PhoneNews.com as a starting point, we’ve made a few products, and started work on a few more. First, we created MobileWiki, an excellent B2B wiki solution that’s faster, more reliable, and cheaper than the competition. Next, we launched CheapenGadget.com and AnimeNews.biz, both sites which are quickly picking [...]
