Elite Freeware: Great Software Blog
« on: August 21, 2008, 04:24 PM »
Came across this blog today because it had a review of Find and Run Robot, but there are a LOT of really nice thoughtful freeware reviews on the site.

The author of the blog seems like a no-nonsense kind of guy -- it's just a blog full of good reviews.  All he says about himself is he is from Chile.  They must be pretty serious about their software in Chile.  I'm impressed.

His blog deserves a much bigger audience.  I'll be visiting the site regularly.

Hey thanks for featuring my little blog on your site! i still think my writing skills need more work but thanks for the kind words about my posts anyway.  ;D

Truthfully most people here in chile don't care about freeware but i am doing the blog mostly for me.  :D

Hey! Welcome to the site gexecuter! Great to see you stop by.  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Really nice blog.  If you have a favorite review or two of yours from your archive you might post links so people can check them out (otherwise guys just go browse his archive, it's packed to overflowing!).

This looks like a great website and i am glad i joined your small corner of the internet.

Favorite reviews? umm i am sure i can think of a couple...

The PureText review and the Double Killer come to mind. i think they are pretty decent.

oh and if you guys are going to look up really earlier posts (like from january 2008 and before that) keep in mind that most of them were horribly written and some don't even have a review! yeah i got lazy and copy pasted the descriptions but later i got serious and started writing real reviews.
