Gear Live Turns One Year Old!


Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements

DescriptionThat’s right ladies and germs - Gear Live has now been ruining the minds of people everywhere for one full year. Looking back, it has gone by amazingly fast and has grown in readership just as quickly. Here are a few fun facts:

  • Our first article article was an interview with Scott Jordan, CEO and Founder of SCOTTeVEST.
  • Gear Live started as a hobby site that I did in my spare time, and over the last year, morphed into my full-time job.
  • We had 5653 unique visitors in our first month. Last month, we had over 350,000.
  • There was a time when the message boards received more traffic than the blog.
  • We started the site on MovableType, and switch to Expression Engine after about six months due to its immense flexibility.
  • We have posted 1176 articles, received 4582 comments and 92 trackbacks, and have gotten 1372 members in the last year.
  • If you weren’t around back then, here is a peek at what Gear Live used to look like.
  • A couple of months ago, Playfeed was born.

These are some of our most popular articles:

What about gifts? Glad you asked. To celebrate, we have a bunch of stuff we will be giving away - starting with a SCOTTeVEST TEC T-Shirt, which isn’t even available to the public yet. To win, simply tell us what your favorite Gear Live article has been from the past year in our comments section. Remember, as far as the U.S. goes, you have to be in it to win it - and a winner will be selected randomly.

Happy Freakin’ Birfday!
Congrats on one year, here’s to many more!

Favorite article was definitely the “10 reasons the PSP will suck”. It made me wait to buy it. Still haven’t bought it, but I may in the future… when someone figures out how to hack the games that is…

Happy Birthday! keep up the good work!

My favorite is Thinking Machine 4.  It’s probably not everyone else’s pick, but it’s the gadget+out-of-category articles that keep me coming back to GL.

My favorite article was the article about the guy that bought an online island for like 30,000 dollars. That’s so crazy!

Happy Birthday, Gear Live! I absolutely love that cake! My personal favourite article was the Oto-Hime (Sound Princess) article. I never knew the extent of Japanese pride before that article.

I remember I even liked the article so much that I helped the author of the article polish it up a bit =)

Again, happy birthday, and many more to come!

Happy Birthday!

Favorite article would have to be the 10 reasons why the PSP sucks.  I thought it was a real interesting read.

My favorite article was definately in July of last year. Thousands of new visitors had just come to gearlive because of that freeipod conga-type article.
The article was the announcement that Apple had just released the 4th gen iPod, with an AWESOME click wheel!

Congrats!

My Favorite article had to be the “Why Apple Makes A One Buttoned Mouse “

I also came across GearLive when it looked like the old version.  I don’t remember where I linked over from, but it was during that ‘freeipod’ buzz.

Hooray for Gearlive!

My favorite article was the one where Gratis was proven legit. That brought lots of traffic to the site and started the free stuff madness. Good stuff.

My favorite was speed up firefox. That changed my life. Literally.

My favorite article is the debate about the 1 button mouse that comes stock with MACS. I found it interesting that people actually perfer 1 button mouse then a 2 button mouse for macs.

MY favorite article was “The Top Ten Things You Need To Know About Sony’s PSP”

Because back then the fever of the psp was too high and every1 was interested on info about the psp

Happy b day GearLive

Congrats! and happy d-day!!!


I usually read every article, or at least skim them all, but if I had to pick a favorite I would probably choose the “Why Sony’s PSP Will Suck” one. Not because I thought the psp would suck, though I agreed with a lot of the negative points but mostly because it was funny following the discussions in the comments. Poeple reacted so silly and got so defensive/aggressive and were a little too pationate. Just good reading heheh.

But I also really liked the “trackable panties” article heheh.

And of course all the prize giveaway articles lol.

My favorite one was how to speed up xp when it starts. The reason I liked it so much is because I actually used it I couldnt stand the loading time on my computer now its ok.

My favorite is the one where you showed the free ipod you got. It got me into free sites and it was also the first time I saw gear live

one of my favorites was that article about the 3D things where the guy flew a little 3d helicopter over an audience with special effects electronic things.  that was sweeeeeet.

Happy Birthday Gearlive
I’ve been a big fan for about 6 months now and look forward of many more years of great tech news.

Anyways I think my favorite artical was the one saying that the PSP disk will not be encoded. i just remember and excitement about that like you can buy mini dvds and burn movies on to them. Good stuff.

Happy Birthday again!!!

GEAR LIVE YOU SUCK I HATE YOU ####### ON YOUR MOM PSP ROCKS YOU ARE JUST TOO POOR TO GET IT I DONT GIVE A #### IF YOU BECAME A YEAR OLD IM GETTING A PSP IN 5 DAYS AND YOU ARENT CAUSE YOU ARE HUNG OVER GET A LIVE ############
