Tell us what you like about element14 and why to win a Hawkboard!

Hi,

I use Element-14 for everything. I currently deal with LED based products and designs. But Element-14 web site is always on in my browser and refresh the page offently ( in the meantime, is it possible to auto-refresh the main page for a predefined time interval so that we have not refresh it manually ? ) and fallow the new mew messages. I always think Element-14 is a rapidly growing community and more over like a living body. We can meet experts in every catagory and expert members who are really keen on helping and sharing their knowledge with the other members. So, I always find what i am looking for in here.

Roadtest is just a great group for the members and gives us big opportunities by providing us great hardwares. But for me, Roadtest is just one of the reasons to visit Element-14. there is more than Roadtest in here.

Finally, Element-14 changed my life. And it shines more everyday.

I forgot to mention why i would like to win Hawkboard

Because i always like to give a try to new technologies that i have never given a try before, like a hawkboard which contains many peripherals on it as Ethernet, Usb and Video. Would i buy a hawkboard now ? Not now, but yes in the near future.

Social networking for "technical stuff" seems to be broken.  There are occasional technical groups on more traditional networking sites, but they tend to get very little traffic.  There are occasional forums from vendors or for specific products, but they tend to be very narrowly focused.  There are occasional mailing lists that sometimes hit the breadth of discussion I'd like to see, but they're very rare.  The trade magazines are in trouble (along with the rest of the paper publishing businesses) and are still struggling with how to re-invent themselves.

I'm hoping that the broad base of element14, and its distributer-based funding, will result in a sort of social networking site for the "Renaissance Technical Person."

   I use element-14  to keep in touch with the latest technology updates and trends .
Also to follow the Expert section to learn more.
But also the Road test group which I find very good and interesting .
Finally, Element-14 have changed my life and I am looking forward to every new visit.
I have also joined the Facebook and Linkedin group and follows element 14 on twitter.

The Hawkboard will give me a great opportunity to get inside this technology
and a great chance to enhance my knowledge. I can not wait to get started

Hi,
In my opinion element-14 is fastest growing and developed electronics website I've ever seen.

Road test group which is attractive and quite new idea, allow us to keep in touch with the latest technology,

articles and reviews  are interesting. One other thing is also innovative, element-14 is one place

where all manufactures can place information about owns products this is very important for us.

Really excellent work!

Best regards,

I find it very hard to vote for any one part of this site as it offers so much help support and information on everything to do with Electronics.

The Roadtest section certainly offers the chance to keep up to date with the latest on the market tools and experimental equipment.
