“But no one understands an IT pro like another IT pro, and
there’s no better place for IT professionals to seek knowledge than
among themselves.”
“That’s the theory behind TechRepublic (www.techrepublic.com), a
self-described IT community on the Web that opened for business
last week. It was founded by Tom Cottingham, co-founder of the Cobb
Group.”
“The company executes production and development on a Macintosh
platform, the Web server runs on Windows NT and the database is
Linux-based.
“‘We support Netscape, open standards and we’re a big Linux
user,’ McNally says, noting that iActive didn’t want to become a
Microsoft partner, nor did it want to pay Microsoft for much-needed
technical data on NT.”
