At last: @gdgt (gadget)

This post is also available in: Dutch

At last there’s a website dedicated to gadgets! It’s called gdgt, which is pronounced as: gadget.

It allows you to make three kinds of lists:

  1. Have. This is the list of gadgets you currently have
  2. Want. This is what you’d like to have
  3. Had. These are the gadgets you had

The cool thing about it is, that you can write reviews about the gadgets you (used to) own, exchange ideas, buy the gadgets you want (smart!) and… If you put a BlackBerry Storm or Bold on your wishlist, you might get one from gdgt, according to this tweet.

Of course it features followers (like Twitter); people keeping up with your gadgets (Facebook is currently transforming itself to the Twitter model). gdgt is a social network of people who care about gadgets. I wonder what the future of social networking has planned for us… Beware: The first gdgt burglary hasn’t been reported yet, but do not fear: I’ll be watching its development closely for you! I can imagine that somebody knowing your gadget list, might increase the chances of theft. Your insurance company may even give you a nice discount if you choose not to join gdgt…

In the meantime you can go to gdgt.com and create your own account free of charge or check out my gadgets at: http://user.gdgt.com/daepunt

It goes without saying, that gdgt can be followed on Twitter: @gdgt
