About TrendingAlone

Welcome to TrendingAlone - a tech news and reviews platform built on one simple idea: technology should be clear, honest, and useful.

Who We Are

TrendingAlone was founded by Michael B. Norris, a technology journalist with more than 10 years of experience writing for publications like Medium, Vocal media, and Quora. 

His writing on Medium has been referenced in community discussions and shared across reader groups who rely on simple, trustworthy tech explainers. You can read more of his past articles here or connect with him on LinkedIn and Mastodon

This isn’t a faceless blog. Michael is the primary tech news article writer and editor, supported by a small network of contributors who specialize in We focus on trending tech news, including the newest smartphone launches across all brands and the latest features and updates on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. 

Every piece of content carries a byline so you know exactly who wrote it.

Our Mission

We’re here to make sense of technology for everyday readers. 

Whether you’re choosing your first smartphone or comparing software tools for work, our promise is simple:

• No jargon.
• No unnecessary hype.
• No hidden agenda.

How We Work

We hold ourselves to newsroom-style standards:

• Fact-checking first. Every stat, quote, and claim is verified with primary or reliable sources.
• Expert input. Reviews and guides are vetted by people who’ve actually used the tech.
• Regular updates. We revisit older posts to keep them accurate as technology changes.
• Transparency. If an article contains affiliate links or sponsored content, it’s disclosed clearly at the top.
