<p>Two new Web sites have launched recently, and since I know the people behind both of them as respect what they do, I thought I'd let you know about them. First up, we have gdgt (pronnounced "Gadget"):</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1246551716.usr1.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p><a href="http://gdgt.com/" target="_blank">gdgt</a> is from the team that brought you Engadget: Peter Rojas and Ryan Block. gdgt is a different sort of site - it's less about up-to-the-second news and more about a community of people that love gadgets. When you register on the site, you create a profile (<a href="http://user.gdgt.com/jasondunn/" target="_blank">here's mine</a>) where you can add gadgets that you own, gadgets you want, and gadgets that you've had in the past. I've added a handful to my "have" list - anything more would take me many hours! gdgt looks like a cool site and is definitely worth checking out.</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//dht/auto/1246552211.usr1.png" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>The other new site that launched recently is <a href="http://www.midstories.com/" target="_blank">MIDstories.com</a>, a new site from Xavier Lanier, the guy behind <a href="http://www.notebooks.com/" target="_blank">Notebooks.com</a>. This new site of his is focused on Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), a type of gadget that has yet to really take off in terms of mainstream popularity - maybe Xavier's new site will help with that. Worth checking out!</p>
