First Came Gizmodo, Then Engadget. Now, GDGT.

Gizmodo will always garner my affection simply for their humour. Absolutely no other gadget site has been able to reach their level of hilarity. Gadgets are great and all, but after the twelfth Samsung phone or the thirteenth camera phone of the day, Engadget's dry prose just gets to me.

GDGT seems like a new take on the idea. Personally, it sounds like Weardrobe for geeks. That's not a bad thing, but complexity really waters down content. Hopefully they can overcome that.

FTA: “We view this as the final act,” Mr. Block said. “Gizmodo was the prototype. Engadget extended the idea. This could possibly be the last great gadget site.”

I hope it's a success because it sounds like something I'd use, but the last sentence here sounds like hubris.

GDGT won't be here for long if they can't get their website up...
