In the last twelve months I have witnessed MacTrast.com grow month on month at a phenomenal rate. We went from a couple of hundred thousand page views in February 2011 to clocking over a million late last year. We went from a handful of writers to a strong writing team that consistently output 20 posts a day.
Late in 2011 I, @cormacmoylan, switched jobs to become the Head of Digital Marketing at Visitravel.com, because of this my involvement with MacTrast has dropped significantly. I don’t have the free time to dedicate to managing the MacTrast site and our team of writers. MacTrast needs someone that can pour energy and resources into this site in order to improve on its strong foundations.
I am looking to sell MacTrast.com to a company or individual that can push MacTrast.com onto the next level.

Here’s something that you may or may not know – Apple’s iPad 2 Smart Cover sucks. It sucks bad and it sucks hard. It’s overpriced, of poor build quality, and it doesn’t do a good job as an iPad stand. How do I know all of this? It’s because I dumped my Smart Cover in place of the Snugg iPad 2 case – a far far superior iPad 2 case. Read my review, inside…
