Gizmodo

I find the hompage for Gizmodo a bit intimidating. I am not a gadget person and feel like these people are speaking another language. I don't understand how the postings are organized, so I decided to try a search. I searched for "digital camera" because my branch is going to be purchasing a new one, but all of the postings on the first few results pages are old. Digital cameras change so quickly that anything even from 2008 isn't going to be helpful. Oddly, I can't even figure out what order the postings are in - alphabetical and date order don't see to be it.

However, I did find another section of Gizmodo which I liked -- Dealzmodo and the Gadget deals of the Day. Who knew that you can get a free gift if you bring three plastic bottles into a Disney Store today? OK, the gift probably isn't that great, and I'm sure it's just a chance for them to plug their new Earth movie, but its still free. I have an uncle who is obsessed with getting great deals on everything; he's the kind who will buy tons of stuff he doesn't need just because he can get it a great deal on it. I know he follows certain websites that tell you about deals, but I am not sure if he knows about this one. I will pass the link on to him and get some "great niece" brownie points. I just wish we had an O'Charley's restaurant here in Sac so I could get the free Strawberry Lemonade they are offering today!

  1. I started reading gizmodo to keep up with my tech geek boyfriend--most of it still goes over my head, but there are some real gems.
