Climbing the rankings to number three is Clove Technology. Founded back in 1992, Clove Technology has always specialised in the smartphone market, before many people even knew what a smartphone was! The blog is a natural extension of the phone, tablet and gaming retailer’s work and is written by a small group of Clove’s team. The blog covers the latest tech news and rumours, with pre-release notes on tomorrow’s gadgets, fun features and even product user manuals available to download – all in one place.
Founded in 2000 by columnist and feature writer Nigel Powell, The Red Ferret considers itself as ‘the world’s first eclectic tech blog’. Unlike many others in this ranking, The Red Ferret doesn’t focus on the latest mainstream product launches, instead choosing to feature the weird and wonderful from the world of tech, whether that’s Samurai Armor for Small Pets, robot weeding, ear cleaners or Jedi training. What started off as an online diary to satisfy Nigel’s interests, The Red Ferret now attracts hundreds of thousands of readers who crave the site’s engaging and informative content.
Coolest Gadgets is a blog dedicated to just that, the coolest gadgets around. Started by Al Carlton back in 2005, Cool Gadgets is an excuse for Al to buy gadgets without getting into trouble with his partner or the tax man! Covering everything cool, from audio glasses to smart clothes, Cool Gadgets now has a team of writers across the world including an evil genius and a spy gadget enthusiast! Coolest Gadgets is the place to go for anything fun and quirky from the world of tech and gadgets – as long as it’s cool.
A new entry to the ranking, Mighty Gadget focuses on the latest technology and gadget news and reviews.
