Part of the reason we implemented news categories here at TechJapan is because of accessibility. More details inside.

Rather than having a big mess of articles filed into o­nly topics, wouldn't it be eaiser to have a big mess of articles filed into categories and topics? Just imagine a filing cabinet, where the different drawers represent different categories, and inside these drawers are folders representing folders.

Well actually, that's a terrible example; because a topic can have multiple categories. Oh well, I'm sure you understand anyway.

Below is a breakdown of the subdomains we've set up. Each subdomain corresponds to a category, meaning if you're looking for news about mobile phones, for example, you'd just punch in http://mobilephones.techjapan.com to your browser, and you'll get o­nly mobile phone related articles. Here they are, in no particular order:

• Saturday Statistics: http://saturdaystats.techjapan.com
• Size Matters: http://sizematters.techjapan.com
• The CRASH!: http://thecrash.techjapan.com
• Product of the Week: http://potw.techjapan.com
• Storage: http://storage.techjapan.com
• Audio/Video: http://audiovideo.techjapan.com
• Portable Audio/Video: http://portableav.techjapan.com
• Car Audio/Video: http://carav.techjapan.com
• Desktops: http://desktops.techjapan.com
• Notebooks: http://notebooks.techjapan.com
• PDAs/Handhelds: http://handhelds.techjapan.com
• Peripherals: http://peripherals.techjapan.com
• Software: http://software.techjapan.com
• Mobile Phones: http://mobilephones.techjapan.com
• Digital Cameras: http://cameras.techjapan.com
• Internet: http://internet.techjapan.com
• Robotics: http://robotics.techjapan.com
• Gaming: http://gaming.techjapan.com
• Business: http://business.techjapan.com
• Toys: http://toys.techjapan.com
• Other: http://other.techjapan.com
• Site News: http://sitenews.techjapan.com

And that's it. Please note that we are still in the process of filing older articles into categories -- we've posted nearly 800 articles during the past year or so. We're also looking towards further implementation of these subdomains throughout the site, and we'll be sure to let you know what happens.
