When Peter Rojas and Ryan Block left Engadget and Gizmodo a few months back, they said they were going to be collaborating on a new and exciting venture. That venture just went live and is called gdgt, a social networking site devoted to technogeeks and chipheads who are WAY too emotionally involved with their hi-tech toys and love to bore their friends by talking and sharing information about them…you know, for people like US.

Here is a little of what Ryan says about gdgt…

While the core concepts that drive the site — gadgets and community — will always stay the same, what we’re most excited about is the fact that we can use gdgt as the foundation for building tons of new features and tools for the gadget world. Stuff like the gadget finder — which lets you search for devices based on specs (finally!) — is only the start. We’re already working like crazy thinking up lots of new stuff to introduce over the coming months. And since we’re building this site for you, it goes without saying that the gdgt community has a direct say in what we’re working on. (Hit us up in gdgt feedback to tell us what you want from gdgt, or just what’s on your mind.)

So check out gdgt…in my opinion, this sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun and will be a valuable and unique addition and enhancement to your favorite gadget sites on the web…like MobilitySite.

Watch the intro video below and if you DO sign up for gdgt, drop a friend request to me..user name BardHaven.

By day a department manager and writer for a major network device vendor...by night Zealot stalks the mean magnetic streets, striking fear into the hearts of bandwidth abusers and theme park mascots. Zealot has been involved with mobile devices for more than a decade now, starting off with dumb phones, moving to PDAs and then to smartphones, notebooks and netbooks with the odd PMP thrown in. Most of his mobile time currently is spent on a Treo Pro, Zune HD, Thinkpad T61, Gigabyte M912M or a Hackintoshed Compaq Mini 704. He proudly groks the Geek community and considers himself a Neo Maxi Zune Dweebie (thanks Will Wheaton!).
