Twelve years ago this month (give or take a week or two) I started The Gadgeteer as a goofy little review site on the then free webpage hosting service Geocities. People seemed to like my reviews, so I registered the domain name four months later, moved to a real hosting site – and the rest is history!
As many of you know, I had the distinct pleasure of working with Julie Strietelmeier at The Gadgeteer for six years, so this milestone is one that I hold near and dear. For her site’s 12th birthday, Julie has rounded up some fab sponsors and excellent gifts – including an HP dv4 laptop and other major goodies for the first place winner!

HP Pavilion dv4 (1145go) laptop with a 320GB hard drive and 4GB of memory

The Gadgeteer is one of the oldest and most well regarded review sites, and it is no wonder that they are continuing on strong. Here’s to many more happy birthdays for Julie and the crew at The Gadgeteer!

That is awesome! A lot has changed in 12 years. The ability to keep growing says something about the site!

Wow. Just wow. Not too much longer before we’re celebrating 2 decades of some of the sites we read daily. Incredible.
