It has been some time since I posted an update to this blog and much has happened in the last few months on the HP web site. We appear to  have not done too badly over the last holiday season, some may even argue that we kicked ----!

We released a new home page in November. For those of you who may have been following our experimentation, we have done much testing in the last year and we now feature three task-centric tabs  that span across our diverse offerings:

1.

Shop to help you find what you need in the vast set of products and services we offer.

We are still organized around our business segments but our large marquee areas features a quick peek into the innovations happening across HP.

In January we featured  some of the coolest ( or hottest!)  products in HP’s history.: the  HP touch smart , the  Mediasmart Server  or the cool little dv5 notebook And the most exciting of all the  Vivienne Tam Mini  "peony-inspired design in the vivid shades of violet and sophisticated reds".

“it looks sooooooo pretty! says one  review.

Finally HP can  boast  being both geek tech AND  chic tech  !

2.

Explore & Create  : with many cool ideas for  your creative DIY (Do It Yourself) side. Here we feature many new services for both home and business use. Check out the free printing projects on the HP Creative studio. You may still be able to impress that someone special on Valentine’s Day with one of the many many ideas from our collections.

As an aside, one of my favorite things to say about HP.com is that it is perhaps the one website in the world where you may find  both  non-stop servers and help with scrapbooks : another bridge between work and life for the the tech sector?

3.

Support & Drivers For the many who come here often we have recently introduced the Support forums  to help you consumers talk to other users about front office products. This is in addition to the already very active business support forums.

A somewhat better  home page, but still work to be done on the rest of the site. Stay tuned and check back here as we move along in 2009.
