Miio, the gdgt for all interests

Let me explain that.

Miio is a new social network. It’s a good idea because it displays messages related to your interests. Groups, if you’d rather. If you like burgers, cats or linux, you may find your happiness. Plus, you can meet new people. The key feature is that you don’t have to manually enter your contacts from other networks (yet, you can), you discover people.

What’s up with this gdgt relation? Last year, I wrote an article called: Why gdgt is the web idea of the year, explaining that if you’re looking for a new gadget, gdgt is your best friend:

The reviews are really personal, more accurate and there are a lot of ‘em. And that’s simply awesome. Awesome^100. Googol awesome. You’ll find, at gdgt, everything you need to know about a gadget and that’s it. And you’ll find out you don’t need more information.

Miio does roughly the same thing. If you’re looking for more human information about something, it might become your best friend, if the community continues to grow. And there’s even more, you could find new friends. Now, of course, Twitter can do the same thing, but sometimes, 140 is not enough. And that’s why Miio exists.

Now, Miio is not yet perfect. As RWW noted, Miio has too many features, and the navigation isn’t really clear. Please, Miio founders that never worked on cool places like Google or Twitter, focus on your main awesome feature.

Why gdgt is the web idea of the year

There are several reasons, but I’m going to talk about the “reviews” reason.

Since many days, I’m wondering if I’m going to ditch my iPhone for a Hero. I’ve got an iPhone for almost two years and since the beginning of July, I’m torned apart. No, really. I really want to be faithful to Apple, but, you know, Apple is—kinda—disgusting me right now. With their unstoppable AppStore censorship. These kind of things—censorship—reminds you of all the other problems the iPhone has. It’s not free, it’s shut-in, confined. Android is one of the principal factor that makes you feel, if you’ve got an iPhone, that you’re not free. And I’m beginning to change.

Anyway. This isn’t really what I’ll be talking about, but it does matter.

I spent my available web time to search for reviews, thoughts about the Hero, then I realised that gdgt existed. I was waiting for gdgt to launch since a long, long time. And then I realized how useful it is.

The reviews are really personal, more accurate and there are a lot of ‘em. And that’s simply awesome. Awesome^100. Googol awesome. You’ll find, at gdgt, everything you need to know about a gadget and that’s it. And you’ll find out you don’t need more information.

gdgt has opened its doors and it’s awesome

Dear friends. Earlier this week, gdgt, the consumer electronics website has opened its doors to the public. This conceptual website was created by Peter Rojas, former Gizmodo & Engadget editor and Ryan Block, former Engadget editor-in-chief. It has different goals than usual tech websites. The whole website is based on community management. But, as I said a long time ago, I hate when websites explain completly how the website works, so please, follow my link. You gotta register if you really want to enjoy it.
