It’s that time of year again where we look back on where we came from and look ahead to where we are going. This year we celebrate our 9th birthday. The roots of MacSources actually date back further than 2012 when we officially launched MacSources.com. It’s been a few years since we dedicated a post to our birthday and this year, we thought it was appropriate to celebrate again.
The past 18 months have been a struggle for everyone – including us. Thankfully, we’ve not had to deal with illnesses within our MacSources family, but we have known and lost loved ones due to COVID-19. Our business was effected in a couple of ways. First, incoming products were slowed due to supply chain issues and second, our standard conference options were reduced to virtual events. We typically use those events as a way to commune with other technology nerds. So, naturally we were saddened to not be able to do that as a part of our typical annual tradition. Still, we remain vigilant about keeping safe and thankfully, the majority of the companies we work with have been able to return to a normal state of business.
It’s amazing that we made it to our 9th birthday – and we’re still going strong! We wouldn’t be where we are today without our readers. Thank you for continuing to visit MacSources.com and for sharing our content throughout the internet. We also wouldn’t be where we are today without the public relations teams we work with. They are amazing and many of them have been with us from the very beginning! They are our friends and we couldn’t do what we do without their support.
Finally, we want to extend a very special thank you to our staff writer, Jon Walters. In addition to writing for MacSources, Jon is also a devoted husband and father to four beautiful children AND he is a full time physician. Not only is he a physician, but he is the Medical Staff President at the hospital he works for AND he’s been heading up his hospital’s COVID task force. The past 18 months have been particularly crazy for Jon, but writing reviews has been therapeutic for him. Jon has actually been writing with MacSources since 2016 and we are honored to have him as part of the MacSources family.
As we round the corner into our 10th year of publishing, we are exited to continue bringing real, honest product reviews to consumers. When we started, we were reviewing mostly mobile apps. While we still review software, our main focus is on consumer products. At first, we only reviewed products that were technology-related, but today, we’ve expanded what we review to home goods and even EDC items. We strive to make sure our reviews are unique, authentic, and personal.
Happy Birthday, MacSources…and many more!
