As an avid follower of the gadget-reporting world (obviously), we're always interested to see what's going on on the web, and something we've been keeping a very close eye on is the launch of gdgt.

It's the new gadget social network mash-up launched by Ryan Block and Peter Rojas of Engadget and Gizmodo fame which allows you to pick gadgets, talk about them, read reviews etc...
