Gizmodo is a popular technology weblog owned by Gawker Media. The blog covers the latest in gadget and electronics related news from around the world. Originally created and managed by Peter Rojas, the web site is now run by Brian Lam. Rojas left Gizmodo to create its main competitor Engadget, increasing a long-standing rivalry between the two web sites.
In a discussion of tech trends in the current economy published on March 2, 2009, Gizmodo features editor Wilson Rothman described decreased interest on Gizmodo in high-end tech items and increased interest in Dealzmodo, the discounted section of the site.CNN: In a recession, tech gadgets become a luxury (March 2, 2009)
CES Prank:
At CES 2008 the Gizmodo crew and more specifically Richard Blakeley were involved in a show room prank. Using a device called a "TV-B-Gone" the crew turned off the television sets of several of the exhibiting vendors. The entire stunt was taped, and the recording shows staff scrambling to get the televisions turned back on. After posting the video to the Gizmodo web site the prank was thoroughly discussed by technology community. The CES staff later released a statement that Blakeley was banned from CES and they may pursue additional litigation.Quotes
