Floozy Speak!

Gizmodo was probably the biggest must see blog last year. Everyone opened their eyes to the world of gadgets and Gizmodo made the scene just in time. Since its presence on the net many blogs like it have followed. The net collective is addicted to new things, least I know I am.

However the old gizmo is out and the new gizmo is in.. and for a time I accepted it, however today I will say otherwise. To me it went from a nice small idea with massive support from the net to redesigned ad clustered not so neato not so new blog. Ever since the redesign my visitations to Gizmodo have left an ever increasing feeling that its simply not that great of a site any more.

What causes this? Is Gizmodo simply no longer interesting? Have I had my fill of newness from them and moved on?

I miss the classic blog look with minimal ad's. Now we have the new ad here, no here, oh and here blog look with a real cold feeling to it. It feels too robotic, too blah, too blah blah blah. Design of a site doesn't usually deter me but in Gizmodo's case it went from a friendly face to a "woah what happened to you.." look. I don't have a problem with people wanting to make a little $$ on their blog but the box ad's have to go. Go back to simple google text ad's and bring back the old look.

So aside from site design or lack there of, the other big problem with Gizmodo is that it doesn't feel new any more. The news isn't all that, in fact lately its been pretty bland. Makes me think they lost some contributors or something and I don't accept the notion that nothing "new" is out. In fact i aquire more newness from other sites which leads me to think folks have abandoned Gizmodo to a certain degree.

Gizmodo seems plain and bland to me, I'm thinking of dropping it from my blogroll.. and i don't feel bad about it. Heh, I dunno its interesting to see how sites evolve from their inital concepts.
