A Short Bio

Robin Bloor is a leading technology analyst, authority and an influencer in the IT industry. Along with Eric Kavanagh, he is the founder of The Bloor Group and he is also still associated with Bloor Research, the analyst company he founded and established in the UK.

Originally a developer and project manager working in the UK insurance industry, Bloor became a consultant with CMG (now CMG Logica) and a few years later, established a software house (Mayneland Ltd), which was sold in 1985. In 1989 he founded Bloor Research and has since been a consultant and IT analyst. He operated out of the UK until 2002, when he became resident in Texas and began to acquire a reputation in the US. In 2002 he was awarded an honorary Ph D by Wolverhampton University in the UK in recognition of his services to the IT Industry.

In 2000, he began blogging on an occasional basis on IT-Director.com, a web site he designed and built in 1998. In November 2007, he decided it was time to blog on a more regular basis and established the blog site HaveMacWillBlog.com.

Much of the older material on this site is taken from original postings to that blog site, which became popular as a source of analyst opinions. As a sideline Bloor also set up the web site WordsYouDontKnow.com, where he writes essays on the meaning and etymology of words. He has published a book, also entitled Words You Don’t Know, which is currently available onAmazon and as an eBook.
