Welcome to Macfriendly.com.
Macfriendly.com has two main purposes:
To provide a single
location where Mac users can get information about
pre-screened resources that welcome Apple Macintosh
computer users
and...
To help Windows/PC
users to be more aware of the online Macintosh community
and how to effectively do business with us.
The 2 key words in the statement above are"pre-screened"
and "welcome". Nothing appears
on this web site unless it has been pre-screened to
make sure it's Mac friendly. That means either I have
personally checked it out, or one of our Mac visitors
or newsletter subscribers has checked it out and recommends
it.
I'm also on a mission to help the Windows community
to better understand Mac users and how to make it easier
for us to buy, communicate and do business with each
other, especially on the Internet. Our PC friends for
the most part, are simply not aware of some of the
differences that make it difficult or inconvenient
sometimes for us Mac users. My job is to help bridge
that gap with this web site.
On this web site, you'll find a variety of ways to
discover web sites, products and resources that welcome
Mac users:
1) The
Mac Friendly Directory. I
extend an open invitation to anyone to submit resources
for the Directory. The resource(s) must be Mac "friendly"
or compatible for Macintosh users. These resources
can range from web sites, software, publications,
and more, and they don't have to be Macintosh specific.
(Click
Here to Add Your Resource. Click
here for
Submission Guidelines, or here for the FAQ.)
2) The
Mac Friendly Blog. You'll
find a variety of categories inside the blog that
highlight interesting and useful resources for Mac
users. I do a lot of research on my own and post
what I find so you can benefit from them too.
Other resources that I highlight in the blog
come from submissions to the Directory and from
visitors to Macfriendly.com. I try to keep things
simple and not too technical, and it's just plain
ol' writing with a personal touch.
3) Mac
Friendly Talk - This area of Macfriendly.com
consists of two distinct communities: Mac Friendly
Forums, and Free Personal Blogs for you. I invite
you to stop by to lurk, contribute and become
a part of the various forums. I also invite you
to set up your own free, personal blog right
here on Macfriendly.com. It's a full-featured
blog that you control and can have fun with.
4)
The Mac Friendly Article Directory -
This is a new and growing area of Macfriendly.com
that offers you the opportunity to read articles,
submit articles, and grab free content for your
own web site, if you have one. There's a bunch
of different categories there, so you'll find
everything from Mac stuff, to Family, to business
and other interesting topics. Articles to this
directory, like everything else on Macfriendly.com,
are pre-screened before acceptance.
5) Mac
Friendly News Ezine - I invite you
to sign up for my free newsletter, called (what
else?!), Mac Friendly News. I promise to only
send it out when I have something interesting
to report, so for now, I can't promise you a
regular schedule. Maybe later I'll offer that.
:)
I have some other exciting things planned for Macfriendly.com,
so be sure to visit often, and subscribe to the newsletter to
be one of the first to know when the new things launch.
You can help me expand the Mac Friendly Directory and Macfriendly.com
to better serve the Mac community by simply telling your
friends about this web site. Use the convenient
Tell-a-Friend
page to send a quick, pre-written message about Macfriendly.com.
If you have any friends or associates who have an
Internet resource of interest to Mac users, ask them
to add their resource for free to the Directory.
Thanks for stopping by Macfriendly.com. I hope you
enjoy your visit and will stop by often. Please feel
free to contact me with your questions or suggestions
for the Mac Friendly Directory.
All the best to you,
