Business Channels Editor, ReadWriteWeb
In 2011, Strom is responsible for the operations of the business channel collection of Web sites
for ReadWriteWeb, including ReadWriteEnterprise, ReadWriteHack, ReadWriteCloud, and ReadWriteBiz. He continues
to write articles, review new products and services, and offer his insightful analysis for these sites. He also writes regular features about how enterprises
are using new technologies.
Freelance Writer and Book Author
New York Times, Techtarget.com and ITworld.com are just a few of
the publications where you can find many of Strom's more than 100 articles a year
on technology. He has also appeared on numerous TV and radio shows as
a technology expert such as ABC World News Tonight and NPR's Science Friday. When
it came time for Prentice Hall to look for an expert on Internet email, Strom had
the opportunity to work with Marshall Rose, one of the inventors of the basic
email protocols as a co-author to pen the landmark book, Internet Messaging: From
the Desktop to the Enterprise. Following on that success, he also wrote one of the
first how-to books called Home Networking Survival Guide for Osborne/McGraw
Hill.
Strom has started and run dozens of print and Web magazines,
including being editor-in-chief at Tom's
Hardware.com, Network Computing and Digital Landing.com. He was the technology
editor at Baseline Magazine from 2008-2011 and was also on the
original launch of PC Week's first demographic section called Connectivity back in
1988. Companies come to Strom to try out new computer networking products and
understand how they will work at some of the largest corporate IT shops. This
hands-on approach permeates his work and gives him a firm foundation of what to
recommend for his audiences and readers. The results can be found in various blogs
and podcasts below.
