by John Biggs on August 11, 2006

It’s been quite a day - lots of food, folks, and fun - and we’d like to take a moment to ask what you guys are looking for. More pictures of scantily clad rhesus monkeys? A discussion of various types of pressed, salted fish? More cellphone coverage?

Drop me a line at john at crunchgear dot com - it’s all working now. PR folks, please send all info to tips at crunchgear dot com. Otherwise, thanks for tuning in. We’ll be here until our options vest.

John,

You are doing great so far! Loving the frequency and variety of posts. It is time someone gave gizmodo and engadget a run for their money!

 

Excellent so far! Hopefully you can keep up the great work! I’ve got myself subscribed to the RSS feed and I look forward to some great articles.

 

CrunchGear ROCKS. Of course I’m slightly biased…

 

Man, already I don’t have enough time in the day. Now with another great website, what am I to do?

Rock on! Keep it up.

 

How about a “how useful in everyday life” rating scale? For example, the breathalyser watch is great, but seeing that I’m not an alcoholic (I haven’t been to an AA meeting in years!), do the features warrant carrying around the extra bulk?

The problem with “another gadget blog” is that there’s just more noise to read. If I could glance at the picture, and a 3- or 4-criteria rating scale, I’m all over it.

Example–
Usefulness: 1/5
Interface: 17/5
Value: 4/5
Head turning capability: -2/5

…or something like that.

 

OK so far but how about some good digital camera reviews for those of us that aren’t photography geeks like “Digital Cameras for Bloggers”

Also don’t forget those of us that live outside of the US. The unavailability of inexpensive mobile data networks in Australia means that some of the coolest gadgets are only pipe dreams here until the local telcos get their act together. Sure make us drool over the latest and greatest so we know what we’re missing but also leave something for the rest of us.

 

Great job thus far. Could you make the RSS feed bigger though? It currently only displays the ten most recent articles, and that’s not enough due to the frequency of updates.

 

John, I may be biased, but I’m enjoying my new grandblog immensely!

Just wondering; are there any gadgets out there that will remind my son to call his mother occasionally?

I am biased, but still I would tell you if you suck. This has been great so far - a good variety and a great amount of content, it has become one of my favourite feeds!

 

I am also biased :) But I just love this site!!!

 

Hi,
Id like to see some articles on dedicated/managed web hosting companies, (rackspace etc)…
I think it would interest to new and upcoming 2.0 companies…

 

Nice site, but very similar to http://crave.cnet.co.uk (which is a cross between CNET reviews and a pure gadget blog as is your stated objective) and Engadget, not sure yet of the reason to add another gadget blog to the mix: Let’s see!
