Digital Home Thoughts: Site Watch: gdgt and MID Stories Launch

Two new Web sites have launched recently, and since I know the people behind both of them as respect what they do, I thought I'd let you know about them. First up, we have gdgt (pronnounced "Gadget"):

gdgt is from the team that brought you Engadget: Peter Rojas and Ryan Block. gdgt is a different sort of site - it's less about up-to-the-second news and more about a community of people that love gadgets. When you register on the site, you create a profile (here's mine) where you can add gadgets that you own, gadgets you want, and gadgets that you've had in the past. I've added a handful to my "have" list - anything more would take me many hours! gdgt looks like a cool site and is definitely worth checking out.

The other new site that launched recently is MIDstories.com, a new site from Xavier Lanier, the guy behind Notebooks.com. This new site of his is focused on Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), a type of gadget that has yet to really take off in terms of mainstream popularity - maybe Xavier's new site will help with that. Worth checking out!
