gdgt Brings Social Media Fusion to Tech Space
By Dave Peterson | July 2, 2009
So, what is gdgt? from gdgt on Vimeo.
Social media is starting to see some interesting fusions. Combine aspects of Facebook, Wikipedia and Shelfari, soak the result in gadgety obsession, and you get gdgt, the new project from former Engadget editors Ryan Block and Peter Rojas. It’s not a traditional gadget blog, more a clearing house of information about different gadgets, cameras and various pieces of consumer tech, with a community aspect that allows you talk to people who have (or want) the same devices you do. Want to know if the iPhone 3G S is worth the upgrade price from the 3G? Ask someone who’s done it. Trying to settle on a new wireless router? This is a good place to do some research.
Check it out, register the username of your choice, make some new friends and spend some time talking gadgets. Users are also invited to contribute new entries to the gdgt database. In the video above, Veronica Belmont will guide you through the basic features and areas of the site. My profile is at http://user.gdgt.com/davepeterson; I’ve just started getting things up and going there, but I’m looking forward to this new spin on gadget sites.
