Hey guys,
We want some honest feedback on our best roundups (i.e. best iPad apps, best cases, etc). What's working for you? What's not?
On our side, this is how we prep for articles like this:
- We research a bunch of things in this category (sometimes by soliciting Twitter/forum feedback!)
- We (ideally) test them ourselves; if that's impossible/products are unavailable to test, we reach out to industry experts/source expert reviews elsewhere on the internet
- We collect our top 5-10 picks and post them in an article for your perusal.
For updating older best roundups, we do the following:
- Research to see if there are any new and exciting things out on the market since our last update
- Test the new things and/or source expert opinions
- Weed out any old or outdated picks
- Update the roundup accordingly
Personally, I know that in the past our "weed out the outdated stuff" hasn't been as good as I'd like it to be, and that's something I'm working on changing for our writers. But do you guys have any other feedback you'd like to see? Let us know.
