RadioShack has collaborated with Demand Media to introduce two new experts who will contribute consumer-focused technology insights on an ongoing basis to the eHow Tech channel. Carley Knobloch, a personal tech expert and founder of Digitwirl.com, will serve as eHow Tech’s personal tech expert. She will offer tips on everything from Facebook privacy settings to creating an effective tweet. Jon Rettinger, founder of TechnoBuffalo.com, one of the fastest growing tech enthusiast sites, will be the channel’s high-tech expert. He will provide insights into everything from the latest 3D TVs to mastering the most complicated universal remote control. Both Carley and Jon will answer questions from eHow users through Facebook, Twitter and Google+ covering timely content and topics.

“Technology is increasingly such a part of our day-to-day lives, but people are just too busy to read lengthy manuals – we all want technology to just work,” said Carley. “At eHow Tech, we aim to shorten the learning curve for people with concise, clearly explained instructions and ‘how to’ videos. Through our collaboration with RadioShack, we want to empower users to tackle any curve ball the tech world throws their way and take the anxiety out of using these gadgets we all own and love.”
