Gizmodo is a popular[1] technology weblog about consumer electronics. It is part of the Gawker Media network run by Nick Denton.
The blog, launched in 2002, was originally edited by Peter Rojas, but he was recruited by Weblogs, Inc. to launch their similar technology blog Engadget.[2] By mid-2004, Gizmodo and Gawker together were bringing in revenue of $6,000 per month.[3]
In 2005, VNU and Gawker Media formed an alliance to republish Gizmodo across Europe, with VNU translating the content into French, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian, and add local European-interest material.[4]
A Gizmodo blogger captured the first photos from the floor of CES 2007[5], and according to Reuters, journalists at the (simultaneous) Macworld debated whether Gizmodo or Engadget had the better live coverage of Steve Jobs's 2007 keynote.[6].
