OCC Acquires Another Website, TalkAndroid

Posted on by

This actually happened early in June, but I’m just now getting around to posting about it here on my blog. Overclockers Club has acquired control of a new website: TalkAndroid.com. As you might expect from the website name they are dedicated to covering all things related to Google’s Android OS.

OCC is a community for PC enthusiast, likewise TalkAndroid is a place for Android enthusiast.

You can expect to see a lot of the same faces at TalkAndroid as you’ve seen at OCC. Dave (Bosco) is running it while Scott (sdy) assumes the role of Editor-In-Chief. Others from OCC that are helping out over there include Nerm, Geekspeek, and Silverfox. You may even see me around from time-to-time, though being a fan of another company’s products, I’m not sure how much of a contributor I’ll be.

In 2008 OCC acquired DIY Street which helped strengthen an already great community.
