This is the end, my friends.

It’s with great pleasure I announce that, as of today, TechNation Australia (TNA) will no longer be updated.

Instead, I have joined The Next Web network of tech blogs as editor of The Next Web Australia (TNW AU).

The Next Web is making a concerted effort to become one of the top tech blog networks in the world. Their focus on tech news from all over the world will likely see them successful in their attempts.

To everyone who helped make TNA the best tech-startup focused blog in Australia, I’d like to say a huge “Thanks”. That goes to the writers who helped kick things off in the early days, Geoff Evason, Mike Watkins and Lee Goodman; everyone who read the blog regularly and gave me encouragement through comments in person and on the site; and all the entrepreneurs who had the courage to speak with me about their projects.

The move to TNW AU does not mean that your efforts in helping to grow TNA were a waste. Rather, it builds upon them. The Next Web Australia will bring much greater local and global awareness to the Australian tech startup scene, which can only be a good thing for us all.

In addition to being posted on the TNW AU, most posts will also be posted on the main TNW.com site. The difference in audience numbers between TNA and TNW is significant, to say the least.

For now, my contact details are the same so make sure you send an email to editor at technation dot com dot au if you’d like me to cover your project or have any news you’d like the world to hear about through TNW AU.

As a final note I’d like to ask 2 things:

1. That you to come over and support The Next Web Australia by subscribing to the RSS feed, following TNW AU on twitter (the stream will be sorted out soon) and commenting/retweeting/participating where possible.
2. If you’re an entrepreneur, that you lose the fear of talking about your project and let me help promote your work by telling me, whether by email or in person, what you’re up to and any news.

They’re only 2 small things but they’ll make a massive difference for us all.

Thank you once again, it was fun while it lasted. See you on TNW AU!
