Welcome to my website. My name is Bill Giovino, and I'm both the Executive Editor and Executive Webmaster for Microcontroller.com, and I am both responsible for most of the content as well as the flippant writing style.
As you can see, this is a very busy website. We've taken great pains to make this website easy to navigate
You'll find lots of information on this website in the About Us directory. Other stuff, you'll find here.

Where do I send my Press Releases?
Our press articles are written by our hard-working journaists, and we are recognized by Yahoo and AP. Me, I've written articles published by Embedded Systems Programming and my newspaper credentials include the Boston Herald. Our news articles, press releases, and editorials all meet or exceed the the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Code of Ethics. There is only one way to get your press release published, and that is to email your press release to one of the editors in our news team. They can be reached by clicking the Contact link at the top of the website. Be warned - you can only email your news article to the single email address associated with news articles. If you email your article to the wrong address, it won't get published.
How do I get my website listed in the Microcontroller.com Directory?
Ah, seeker, you ask the eternal question! First, you must understand that to maintain the high quality of this website we must maintain the high quality of our listings. Rather than offer a very large directory, we offer quality content from reliable companies. Many websites place anything in their web directory. We offer only select high-quality content. Each Directory Listing is objective and limited to 75 words or less. We rarely reject websites for Directory Listings, although there are a scant few that we will never list for ethical reasons, or anyone that has screwed us in the past (because what they do to us, they will do to you. Sounds Biblical, huh?). We want you, our Loyal Readers, to be assured that the listings you see here are from reliable companies that are established and available to help you. While we respect the small businessperson, we sometimes all the need comfort and assurance that a company is alive, vital, and willing to treat you with respect and integrity.
We don't want to be the fattest web directory - only the best!
