Hour 1: E- Waste Scam Exposed by BAN and Transforming MiTechNews.com

  • ending toxic trade

For most of our history, the Internet Advisor has been proud to recommend Global Tech Ministries led by Stephen Beck as a recycling resource for  your major e-waste.  As with any kind of “ministry” this has been an uphill struggle to find funding and this December is another one of those deadlines beyond which the future of Global Tech Ministries is very unclear.  If you want to help or have computers you want to recycle, click here.

Here is the new and improved MiTechNews.com site!

Back in the mid 1990’s, Melih and Gary Baker were two of the pioneer ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) in Metro Detroit. Gary’s old, company Online Tech  continues to survive and thrive because they have shifted their focus to data management and now are one of the premiere data storage and management companies in the Midwest.

Mike has worked since 1980 as a technology writer at newspapers in New York, California, Washington state, Memphis, Detroit and London, England.The Internet Advisor co-sponsors MiTechNews each week during our show. Brennan has also branched out into his own podcast M2 TechCast which he cohosts with long time radio reporter Matt Roush Mondays at 3 PM on the PodcastDetroit network.

Until recently Mike was struggling with his website until an old friend in online marketing stepped in to help.  That friend was Melih Oztaly, CEO of Smart Finds Marketing; and the rest, as they say, is history.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”4″][vc_column_text]
