Blog Review Post - GigaOm

The blog I chose to review is a site by the name of Gigaom (http://gigaom.com/). It is this amazing database of blogs about everything going on in the business, technology and innovative world. A plethera of articles are posted daily, sometimes 5-6 a day, about everything from the AT&T merger with T-Mobile, to what's going on with Netflix and Facebook. Every article I saw had something in it that I found interesting or learned about. And that's only the homepage! The homepage has a collection of the all the latest articles posted in the tabs....
   The other tabs on the site are essentially individual blogs. For example, there is an Apple blog about everything happening with Apple like the latest app, the newest device, business deals, problems with apple products, everything under the sun. There's also blog tabs about Broadband (internet), Cleantech (environmentally conscious technology and innovation), Cloud (the growing world of cloud computing), Collaboration (How to's, tips, top 10's of technology), Mobile (pretty self explanatory, phones, tablets, etc), and Video (an interesting section about TV, Movies, youtube etc. and the latest about those).
  Overall the blogsite is phenomenal, really a 7-in-1 blogsite, and has many authors. However, one blogger that caught my eye was Janko Roettgers. He blogs for gigaom and the majority of his posts fall under the Video tab (called newteevee). His posts discuss a wide range of topics, but mostly dealing with TV and film, which I personally find interesting being in that career path. He blogs about Netflix, the latest in online video, startup online shows, the newest sites for posting video. For example, I learned about tout, a site that is like the twitter version of youtube, allowing only up to 11 seconds of video per post. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole site, Janko's articles and recommend you do too!
