After 11 years in the business, I’ve finally gotten the promotion I’ve been looking for. I am now Associate Editor – Gunaxin Gadgets.
Okay, I’ll quit being sarcastic, but I’m happy that I’ll be focusing on specific content for the site and trying to build up that section.
The sections within the subsection are computers, electronics, vehicles, games and toys (and ‘other’). To be different than other sites, I’m not trying to put up generic gadget reviews, or articles about something that PC World is covering. In traditional Gunaxin fashion, I plan to get the most offbeat, absurd, or ultra-focused content on those very items that others are covering.
My first article for that section as Associate Editor is one I would’ve written regardless of my promotion – the Coolest Lord of the Rings Balrog Stuff (which falls under the ‘toys’ section). There are plenty of sites that have information on each item but I couldn’t find any that compiled and ranked them all. I’m hoping, over time, it will gain some search engine rank and be a landing page for dorks who want to buy Balrog items, anything from the $2000 monument to the cheap miniatures. I even formed a partnership with Sideshow Collectibles, a company that creates relatively expensive limited edition statues, to promote their items.
Got ideas for the Gadgets Section? Let me know.
