Techpinions publishes technology analysis and commentary. We look at product launches, earnings, funding rounds, and industry shifts and ask what they actually mean for the people who buy, build, and invest in technology. The site has been publishing since 2011.
Who runs Techpinions
Techpinions is independently owned and edited by David Graff, who acquired the site and now writes and edits it. The founders and earlier contributors are no longer involved in running Techpinions. Their work remains in the archive, under their own bylines, exactly as they published it.
What we publish
Analysis and commentary. Opinion-driven pieces on artificial intelligence, consumer devices, enterprise software, and the technology markets. We don’t try to break news. We focus on what the news tells you about where the industry is going.
Software guides. Practical comparisons of software for small businesses, creators, and teams, with a focus on free and low-cost tools. Each guide is built from the vendors’ own websites, pricing pages, and documentation, and from what users report on major review sites. Every guide says how it was put together and includes our own take on the options. We don’t present these guides as hands-on lab testing.
How we work
Every article carries the byline of the person who wrote it, and the views expressed are that writer’s own. We explain how each piece was researched, and prices and plan details in software guides are checked against the vendor’s site at the time of writing. Our full standards are in our Editorial Policy.

Our history
Techpinions launched in June 2011, started by Ben Bajarin, then a principal analyst at Creative Strategies and a technology columnist for Time. The idea was to publish the kind of thinking industry analysts usually sell privately to clients. Contributors joined by invitation and were mostly working analysts, technology executives, and authors. Over the years the site also produced a long-running podcast.
Notable contributors from that era include Tim Bajarin, Carolina Milanesi, Bob O’Donnell, Jan Dawson, and the late Steve Wildstrom. They are not affiliated with the site today.
That archive, more than a decade of analysis, is still online and still readable. It begins with Ben Bajarin’s 2011 columns on Nokia’s prospects and Microsoft’s cancelled Courier tablet, and his December 2011 piece on why everything comes down to the digital ecosystem is still cited in academic work on the subject. The site’s current focus on analysis and commentary continues that tradition under new ownership.
