History

Version 1

W3life Internet Media was founded November 1st, 2006 by Mike Gdovin originally as a blog network meant to teach people how to use technology and get the most out of it. But was quickly switched over to podcasts in early 2007 and shows like Leetspeek, Real Deals (So You Want to Buy A Computer), and The Freeware Show. Mike found talented people that he knew to help him run W3life and make the decision as of November 1st, 2007 that W3life would drop audio only podcasts and become a internet television company to provide higher quality content to our viewers. W3life shows cover computers, the internet, and computer help. W3life's goal is to not only have experienced computer users watch our shows but we would like people who can barley use the internet watch our shows and enrich their experience and get the most out of their computers.

Version 2

W3life was founded by Mike Gdovin on November 1st 2006 as a blog network. He recruited friends like: Ed Rochon, Steven Stinson, Eassa Ayoub, and Richard Campbell who wrote the blogs as did Mike. After about a month W3life launched its first podcast, Leetspeek, which covered the tech news of the week. Later W3life launched two other shows Real Deals and The Freeware Show. By November 2007 the blogs had ended and podcasts took over. But, because of the poor audio quality W3life evolved into and internet television network in the fall of 2007 with shows like Modlife, Computing to the Max, Freeality (Formerly The Freeware Show) and Let's Play. W3life recruited more employees to host shows like Reed who hosts Freeality, Stefano who is Mike's neighbor and hosts Let's Play, Matt Mcmullan who hosts Computing to the Max and Jordan Berman who hosts Modlife and serves and the vice President. Ed Rochon resigned from W3life in January of 2008 along with resigning from Tecker to pursue a career in Spanish.
