It seems like Gdgt is having a very busy 24 hours at the moment. There have been reports that Gdgt has signed a new deal with Engadget to provide product based information at the bottom of all their articles. This is a big deal for Gdgt as it provides them with millions of readers each month and opens the doors to a lot of the AOL network.
Additionally, Gdgt is rumoured to be in talks with Cnet who want to acquire the company. There were no details on the numbers and founders declined to comment.
Gdgt is a great technology product database and its great to see them growing nicely.
p.s. It also helps if your founders also founded Engadget.. the largest gadget site on the web!
Gdgt.com is a user generated site, which is kind of like Wikipedia in many regards, that caters for gadgets and electronics reviews. Basically, users log in and add reviews for tech items they own. Other users can then update or edit that review with their own opinion and thoughts.
There is also a questions section normally on the homepage called the ‘Big Debate’ where users ask questions related to tech products. The community is also alive and kicking. When you ask a question you needn’t bother logging off to check back later – just wait five minutes.
Most of the comments made there about products are sensible and well thought out. I didn’t find one comment from some idiot complaining that Blackberries are better than iPhones (nut jobs).
Connection with fellow enthusiasts is also a good feature that I liked as you can follow their own reviews and edits.
Signing up is easy and of course free. So if you fancy venting about your new purchase or want some solid advice about what to buy – and when, head on over to gdgt.com.
