Features:

# Products home page features all latest products in categorized order. Latest addition comes first.
# Each product has a brief description.
# Detail product specification, this specs portion is very important, we designed it this way that it could give a complete idea and any information you might be looking in a device. After a long research we finalized the Specs feature set.
# Discussion: You could discuss about any individual product, the discussion button is located on top product menu bar.
# You could rate products too (more organized version will come soon)

Products Comparison:

This is the feature I am loving most. It lets you compare 2 or more same type of products with an edge, side bar side just with a click. Check this real example to understand it better.
Compare iPhone 5 Vs. Nokia Lumia 920 Vs. Samsung Galaxy S 3 .

Features:

# You could compare whatever you want(must be same type product, I mean what’s the points to compare iMac with iPhone?)
# You could share your comparison with your friends too, this comparison link is dynamic but permanent at the same type.
# Anybody could compare, you don’t have to logged in, though registering and logging is just clicking a button.
# Add to compare button updates with Ajax and work smoothly with cookie, yes you have to have cookie enabled(98% possibility you have this on)

This is not new but we just bringing it front. We released this few months back, and was working on several features, this time its complete. Check your profile page here – http://thetechjournal.com/profile. To understand more about User Section you have to logged in from the top navigation bar.

Features:

# Easy Social Registration: Smooth and super easy Facebook and Twitter login. It takes less than 30-sec and takes very limited authorization. We value users privacy very carefully. Read Privacy Policy.
# Follow topic. Its a social feature, developing with time. You could follow only the topic you love. Suppose are Apple Fan or just love to read about new Robots. Just like the topic you want and your own profile page will have all those news organized.
# Add to Bookmark. Now you could add any post to your own bookmark, and you will always find that post in your own profile’s bookmark section. It will help you to bookmark important posts that always comes handy. Like a good tutorial page, that helped you but you might need it future too. And bookmark in browser is already a mess(I know!), so we have got you covered. Love TTJ? We have got more reason to keep you coming back here. All you bookmark will be saved in your profile.
# Add to Readlist: Its for busy user, or for say you have important work now or you need to answer emails first. But find some interesting article here, but don’t have time to read now. No problem, we have got you covered too. Add it to ReadList. you will have in your profile, you could read it later and remove the article after you complete reading it. Almost like read it Later.

Long Way To Go

I would like to thank my whole team at ARCom. I would like to thank specially Tarek(Jahidul Islam) my programming lead and the man who is behind all the coding. I also like to thank Manoj (Manoj Pravakar Saha) for giving my vision a shape, he is the man who made all Layout plan, Strategy and helped me think outside the border. He also makes us all confused, all the time and maybe its the cause we got a Redefined Version. Shourov & Forhad helped making this product section reality. Special thanks to Piash for always being beside us. I also would like to thank Salman, Boris, Anatol, Ryan from Writer team and Afzal from our Marketing team.

This whole development period was an extensive time for the developing team. Thanks for bearing this with me. TheTechJournal is a long journey. We have a long way to go. So this is just a better, Redefined beginning.
