Tech sites development

[vital]

Hi,

What do you think about starting tech sites today? Do you see any room for newcomers? I mean, sure that quality is what matters, but still, there are plenty successful sites, that you just can't beat because of their history and strong names achieved by years of a hard work.
The second question is the domain name. Yesterday, I bought techpost.com, '97 domain, which I really like. Could you appraise it? What would you pay for it today?

Thank you for an input, which is really needed.
Martin

Hmm don't think much of it, would prefer techspot.com but to answer your question there is always room in competitive markets if you take a different angle, provide more value then competitors, don't necessarily have to reinvent the wheel either.

Absolutely there is room in this area. Rather than being "broad" in your coverage, narrow down to a specific specialty or niche, one that is still a very large market globally.
