My name is Jason Snell, and I'm leading the editorial team that will be building the new TechHive website, as well as continuing to publish PCWorld and Macworld in just about every conceivable format.

I've been writing about technology products since I was in college (see embarrassing photo). This is a job that combines the two biggest passions I've had since I was a kid: a love for writing and media, and a geeky enthusiasm for the latest tech stuff.

Now I get to play with tech toys for a living--yeah, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it. The rest of our team has stories similar to mine. Everyone who works here shares a real passion for technology.

Macs and PCs are just part of the rich tapestry of the tech world. There are iPhones and Android phones, iPads and Kindle Fires, Roku streaming video players, Canon T3i cameras, and of course Facebook and Google and Netflix.

Macworld and PCWorld do a great job serving their respective audiences, thoroughly covering the Apple and PC/Windows ecosystems, and will continue to do so. In the middle will sit TechHive, where we're free to cover smartphones and tablets, Android and iOS and Windows Phone, digital cameras and Facebook privacy settings and E Ink Bluetooth watches and whatever the next big tech thing is.
