19 Mar 09 DAPreview welcomes DaHarder to the staff + DAP Shop opened
When I became a staff member at DAP Review back in 2006, there were 7 other members contributing news, reviews, and articles. Eventually they all went their separate ways, and I was left to hold down the fort. Now that I actually own the site, I want to bring us back to the good old days, when we’d churn out quality reviews in a timely manner. I can’t do it all myself, so I’ve recruited members such as Dominic, Design Fabulous, and last month BBD to help me out. Today I’m announcing our newest member. If you’ve been here long enough, there’s no doubt you’ll gain a sense of respect, and a healthy dose of envy for him. I’m talking about DaHarder, or Dav, a long-time member who has amassed a collection of over 200 DAP’s (well he’s stopped counting).
Dav will no doubt add valuable content to our site, including featured reviews, and articles about the DAP industry. He’s also known for the wonderful paint jobs he puts on his players, so we’ll show some of those off on the main page as well. He’s already hard at work, writing up his review for the iPod Shuffle 3g. I can’t wait to see it, and the rest of his work. So on behalf of DAPreview, I just want to welcome DaHarder to the staff!
DAP Shop Now Open
I’d also like to announce the grand opening of our official “DAP Shop“. You can find it at the top where the rest of our Site Links are. Essentially, it’s an Amazon store that highlights categories specific to this site. So you’ll see main sections for MP3 Players, Headphones, and MP3 albums. There’s also a few categories for books, movies, games and other electronics. The Shop is completely secure, since it’s being powered by Amazon. By using our DAP Shop, it will help with the costs for our servers and general management. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
I also want to use opportunity to express my appreciation to all the contributing members of this site, and for those readers who haven’t signed up yet (what are you waiting for!). Our goals won’t be realized without your ongoing support!
