Fancy Writing for Coolest Gadgets?
We are looking to take on an extra couple of writers to the Coolest Gadgets team. If you’re the kind of person that your friends come to for advice on all the new and coolest tech we want to hear from you.
You’ll be responsible for finding new products to write about and monetarily rewarded for your work (along with the odd “sample” gadgets to review).
To apply please get in touch explain explaining why we should need to hire you and include a couple of sample gadget articles.
We Have a New Look (finally)
We are now in our fifth year of finding and reporting on all the latest and greatest cool gadgets. In that time technology has certainly moved forward and we’ve had a chance to play with some very cool gear. However the look and feel of the site has stayed pretty much the same and to be honest was looking a bit dated; well that changes today.
Welcome to the new and improved Coolest Gadgets, if you are reading this via a news reader please hop on over to the site and let us know what you think. We have plenty of new features and more reader interaction planned over the coming weeks.
Massive thanks to Gary AKA The Floating Frog for creating the new design and not moaning too much at my ever changing requirements.
Please do leave a comment telling us what you think, and if you have a gravatar you’re picture will be on CG. Cheers.
Need Help With a Design
I think it’s about time that Coolest Gadget got a bit (or a lot) of a face-lift. The site has had this look for just over 4 years and it’s looking pretty dated, so it’s time for a change.
I’d like to ask for suggestions on how you think the new revision should look, what extra features you’d like to see and if there is anything else we can do to improve your experience here. We’ve already hired a great designer who will welcome your input.
Thanks to everybody who shares their opinions here (we’ll also hand out some random prize to the best suggestions).
Your chance to interview Sony!
Over on CG-UK we’ve scored an interview with a couple of senior people in Sony’s TV division with a slight twist – you get to ask the questions!
The interview is with Sony Europe so obviously any questions about product range or marketing will be limited to that region, but the technology is universal so if you’ve got a question about Sony TV/Blu-ray products or technology now’s your chance to ask.
We will be submitting the questions to Sony next Monday so you’ve got the rest of this week to think about it. To see who’s taking part in the interview and find out how to submit your questions, head over to the post on CG-UK.
We can now connect on FaceBook and Twitter
Hi, we were a bit slow on the uptake to do this but you can now follow Coolest Gadgets via twitter and facebook. So you now have the following ways to keep up with coolest gadget news:
- Become a fan on facebook
- Follow us on Twitter
- Our RSS feed
- The daily email
- and of course, the Web Site
I think that’s just about covered all bases (for now).
Coolest Gadget of the Week away for Thanksgiving
With yesterday being Thanksgiving (hope you had a good one with only minor drunken arguments) and today something of a holiday there will be no Coolest Gadget of the week this week. It will be back again next Friday and include the 5 or so entries that we received today.
Starting next week we’ll be publishing our annual gadget gift guides, if there is a guide you’d like to see drop us a comment here and we’ll do our best to accommodate. In fact we’ll give a $50 Amazon voucher for the best suggestion 
(a few ideas from last year’s gift guides).
We also have a few other competitions lined up over the festive period so watch this space.
Have a fun and fantastic weekend folks.
