The IDG TechNetwork features enterprise IT sites focused on storage, management, networking, open source, cloud computing, mobile, and green IT. On the consumer enthusiast side are sites for users of PCs, Apple products, and tech gadgets. Amit Agarwal, founder, Digital Inspiration, said: "Partnering with IDG Tech Network has helped us improve advertising revenues significantly while we continue to remain focused on expanding our content offerings."
