Peter Rojas and Ryan Block, both former bigshots at Engadget and friends of ours, piqued a lot of interest when a while back they joined up and promised a new venture for the gadget lover crowd. Gdgt would be unlike any other gadget site, with a focus on sharing gadgets from an end user perspective. They have been working fast and furious on getting gdgt ready to launch and I am excited to tell you that today is the day.
I have been enjoying the beta of gdgt for a bit already, and it is all that Peter and Ryan said it would be. There is already a big database of popular gadgets and information about them all. What makes the information very useful is that gdgt members share their thoughts on these gadgets, giving the whole place a homey feel. It’s live for the masses now, so head on over and check it out. You may like it well enough to stay a while.
