Ryan Block’s (Former Editor of Engadget) new brainchild is finally up after an extended pre-release period:
Well, for starters it’s the gadget site we’ve always wanted. We both love devices and spend an insane amount of time playing with them, writing about them, talking about them, and thinking about them. We’ve waited for years for somebody to make a gadget site we could go hang out at all day — when no one did it, we just decided to do it ourselves and make sure that it went beyond everything else out there.
The actual genesis of gdgt sprung from an idea Peter had for a site where people could create and share lists of products they had and wanted, and an idea Ryan had for how to build the world’s greatest gadget database. On their own both ideas were alright, but when we combined them we wound up with something way greater than the sum of its parts. After our work at Engadget and Gizmodo, we knew gdgt had to be different from the rest of the technology sites out there, yet make total sense as soon as you saw it.
It even has a spiffy introduction video.
