TechSource started as a personal blog of Jun Auza (thus the domain name junauza.com) in July 2007. He created the site to serve as a venue to chronicle his life's digital journey. TechSource covers diverse topics related to technology. However, it mainly focuses on Linux, Android, and other open-source software-related stuff.
Considered by many as one of the most popular Linux/FOSS sites on the planet, TechSource has appeared on the front pages of Digg, Reddit, Hacker News and other social networking sites. Some of its articles have also been featured on a number of influential sites like CNET, Engadget, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Guardian.co.uk, Linux.com, Distrowatch, LinuxToday, and other not-so-famous but relevant sites and blogs. In its home country, the Philippines, junauza.com is ranked as one of the top 50 blogs (#9) in 2010.

Since 2007, www.junauza.com has around 1.2 million visitors and 2.7 million page views on average yearly. In total, the number of visitors has now reached 15.5 million and the number of page views is now at 34.7 million (as of January 2019).
In late 2016, TechSource has stopped posting updates (read here why) but still received good amount of visitors. In December 2018, I decided to revive the site by changing its design and infusing fresh contents for 2019.
TechSource has now evolved into a full-fledged tech site/blog and has hired several contributors and invited guest writers/bloggers to keep the engine running. Here are some of the key people who made it all happen:

Hey I came across your blog while reading some Linux reviews (great reviews BTW). I'm not Filipino, but I've been to bohol and speak cebuano (nindot kaayo ang mga tarshers no?) I'm close to graduating in computer science and I'd like to get to know you better.

I like what I can see on the site but I wish I could see it long enough to read it without switching browsers. I use SeaMonkey or Firefox primarily. Firefox displays your pages for what seems like random amounts of time then switches to Bad Request Error 400.
ReplyDeleteThis happened consistantly with every page at www.junauza.com.
Cool site! Lots of good materials! For Open Source enthusiasts, this site should be in your 'must' site to visit.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up J!
P.S.
Would you be interested in joining the mentoring project of the Global Filipino nation?
Thanks.
