Chad's Tech Dungeon -
Strike Technology
Strike has been quite the technological endeavour since our company began work last spring. Be it through industry standard Adobe software or our clean online reader (via Issuu), Strike’s technology is always improving. Anyway you put it, the Strike staff is well dedicated to the cutting edge of technology to keep the company on top of things.
However, the catch about technology in business is that it’s ever changing, and the next wave needs to be implemented quickly and smoothly. Having a Tech Manager column here at Strike is something that differs us from any other publication, and is a positive addition to informing our readers of our utilization of technology.
I have a few things that I would like to see fully implemented by Strike by the summer issue. Something that the Strike staff and myself would like to see is a constant flow of new content on our brand new streamlined Foglight website; that way all of you will have less of a headache in searching through Strike content and all of our other Foglight material. So far we’ve collaborated as a team, and come up with an individual tab system that would allow for access to certain Foglight material, like Strike. Next, I would like to utilize something more streamlined to an average person’s mobile lifestyle, such as iOS’s Newstand and the magazine section on Android’s Google Play. The magazine will be delivered automatically, along with a notification, which would be beneficial to the readers.
Since the mobile arena is so important, why not optimize our whole website to be supported on mobile devices? It’s only the logical thing to do, and our visitors wouldn’t have to wait so long for the page to load, only be greeted by zooming in on unresponsive web elements. Because come on, who likes unresponsive web elements? Overall, all of these changes should allow for an overall improved user experience.
