Attention all tech fans and gadget geeks! We’ve been playing around with a semi-new (launched a year ago) technology site developed by former Engadget editors Peter Rojas and Ryan Block called gdgt (or gadget). gdgt is a social platform that enables users to connect with the community through gadgets, and connect with your gadgets through the community. According to its website, “gdgt is all about providing you with useful, contextual information – both from here and around the Web – to help you get more out of the products you already own, as well as help you discover that next great device to add to your collection.”

Here’s how it works. Users sign up for a free account and begin building their list of favorite gadgets. Once registered, you can connect with friends and other users, write reviews and start discussions about devices. Think of it as Facebook for gadget fans.

Gdgt is hosting a party and meet up on Tuesday, July 27 at the Showbox SoDo in Seattle and some of our team members will be in attendance. The event will feature gadgets and demos from vendors including Belkin, D-Link, Dragon Mobile Apps, HTC, Logitech, T-Mobile, Microsoft Zune and more.

In a recent interview with TechFlash, Rojas said, “The whole concept of the site was really about connecting people to gadgets and connecting people through gadgets, and we really wanted to create an event that brought that to life. The whole point of these events is to really give people who don’t get to go to CES and don’t get to go to press events a chance to actually play with this stuff. This is really for us a chance to democratize that whole experience.”

The event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
