I definitely prefer off-beat stuff. And I like odd/interesting that can actually be bought. Personally I'm less interested in reading about the 'standard' gadgets (e.g. cellphones, PDAs, etc.) since they all have other blogs devoted to those items/topics already. I come here first!

I like the number of posts I see now. It's basically boiled down to just the really interesting stuff without 19 extra posts I feel obligated to read even though I don't really care about them.

If this site started doing more mainstream stuff I would probably drop the engadget feed and just come here. I visit this site and engadget daily via RSS.

I would prefer ALL relevent new tech. As a senior technology leader in the entertainment industry, I look here mainly to make sure I don't miss something that may help us be first to market by utilizing something in a different way. Thanks for keeping it going. I come here first. I would prefer ALL relevent new tech.

Im not into RSS: i like site-viewing experience and faster click-trough-ability. I like the offbeat/weird stuff most, but dont mind where it comes from (source or repost), and purchasability is irrelevant for me (dont have lots of $$ to spend on gadgets), so more expirimental/cutting edge would be great. Reposts arent bad imho: nobody can browse every site (if lazy :), so seeing some item repsoted here or there is a small price to pay to for the insurance to see more (overall). I recon you could post more from the smaller, more specific sites (if its in the OhGizmo topic-range oc). Your style of writing is very good, so thats probably what attracts me most anyway. One feature i'd like to see: video's directly on front-page, by using some javascript or something to hide/write it (meh lazy :) OhGizmo is in my main blog/article clicking serie (it earned a IE shotcut-button) .

Don't worry. To us, ads are a necessary evil, and we try to separate them from content as much as possible. In the new site,the article column is wider, not narrower. And site navigation is moved to the bottom, in a nice footer all by itself, and not interspersed with ads, as it is now. There will be no ads between articles. We could have done that a long time ago, but always believed it took away from the user experience. The site is too crowded with ads as it is... But you'll see. We've taken the things we believe work best about this layout, and kept them. And, hopefully, polished everything up a bit. :) Hi Cel. Don’t worry.

To break it down, a site is nothing without content. However, all the sites have content, but you know how to deliver it properly. And I'm not just talking about the way you express yourself, your witty writing and all that, thats great. But your site is very well laid out aswell. When I read that you're releasing a new design of your site in the near future I got a chill down my spine heh, cause this is a good layout. I dont come to a gadget site to look at the pretty design, I come for the content and the style of the site in general. The layout of your site is great. The text collumn isn't too narrow which is often a problem on blog/news sites. There are no ads or other disturbing elements between articles which makes the site easy to read and navigate. To me this is paramount. Nice design without functionality on a site like this is a catastrophy, please please PLEASE keep this in mind for the new site. I can not stress this enough. Keep up the good work!! :) I usually come here first, and out of all the gadget sites I visit, yours is the one I like the most.
