While blogging over the last couple of years I have found that having a niche that excites you is important, almost mandatory to blogging on a continual basis and keeping yourself interested. Without it you won’t get very far.

Something else that I have learned is that having a niche that is too broad can really muck things up. Take technology for instance. There is a lot in their, especially for one guy that is working, schooling, being a boyfriend, and trying to be responsible. Just too much. So, not having enough to write about is just as bad as having too much to write about.

Here is how I am going to solve the dilemma. I love mobile gadgets and mobile technology. I love “cloud computing” because it saves me time and lets other geniuses handle what they handle best. These two topics combined, mobile tech and the cloud, are what trends are pointing towards. These topics are going to be very important in the next 5 to 10 years, and what better place learn and be involved with them than my blog.

Starting today, Tech Hacker will be better known as MobileTechMob. After asking some friends and colleagues about a new name, everyone voted that MobileTechMob was good and “less scary” than Tech Hacker, even though a Mob is much more intimidating than a hacker. Also, since I will be concentrating more on mobile tech, it only makes sense to fit that in the name of the blog somehow. I feel that this name change could make the blog more marketable as well.

Here is what I will be working on this year:

• Regular postings about trends in mobile technology and the cloud and what they mean to standard consumers
• Bringing on some new writers
• Tutorials and HOW TOs
• Podcast

I feel good about this change and feel that it was necessary. Hopefully as time moves forward this year MobileTechMob will turn into a decent community of sarcastic, intelligent, and motivated tech nuts like me that love mobile technology and the cloud and want to find out more about it.

Here is to MTM!
