Loose Wire Service: FAQ for readers no comments
What’s in it for me?
A chance to read entertaining columns on how to use computers, the Internet and gadgets, avoid getting ripped off, scammed and browbeaten by your nephews. I keep the price low so local newspapers in all parts of the world can subscribe to the service.
How do I read it?
Check your local paper or magazine. If you can’t find it, write to the editor and ask them to check out this website. If they still don’t respond, let me know and I’ll pester them.
I read your stuff in [insert name of publication here]. Is it the same?
It might be. You can tell if the column is a Loose Wire Service column because it will carry a box at the bottom saying so.
What kind of subjects do you cover?
The column is aimed at general users eager for straightforward, entertaining writing on technology they encounter at home and work.
Are you the same guy on the radio?
Possibly. I do a weekly slot on the BBC World Service and on Radio Australia’s Breakfast Club.
What’s the difference between Loose Wire, Loose Wire Service and Loose Wire Blog?
All is explained here.
Are you paid by companies to promote their products? How do I know you’re impartial?
I’ve built my reputation with three big media names by following their terms closely, and I still adhere to them. For full details read this page. Simply put, I never take payment, in kind or cold cash, to promote a product. If I like something I say so, if I don’t, I also say so.
Can we suggest column for you to write?
Absolutely. I love to hear from readers. Please email me.
