Why Use Napkin Links?

NapkinLinks was created by engineers for engineers as an engineering information portal. After all, it can be very frustrating to find engineering-specific information in a world of millions of hits, most of which are irrelevant. NapkinLinks is a repository of engineering-related information on technology, products, and services, companies, events, and so on. NapkinLinks also does something that even powerful search engines do not do: tie information together in a way that is useful to you.

NapkinLinks was also created to provide a community-based site for engineers to gather, author information, provide peer reviews, trade ideas, and help others. And for those wanting help building products or even companies, we hope the resources you need can be found here." Some of the companies that sponsor this site can handle requests for more information or help supply products and services in addition to providing expert feedback to your queries.

The articles on this site are designed to provide unbiased information about various technologies and the content is contributed by a range of experts, not just the sponsors of this site. If you would like to contribute to the site, please sign up for an account. (To understand the benefits of creating an account, see the What is the Value of a NapkinLinks Account? page.)
