Giveaway for TheGadgetBlog 1st Birthday on 2 June 2006

Well. Its been almost a year now (11 months) since I took the reign as International Editor for TheGadgetBlog.com and it’s been fun all the way. I’ve been very happy to be a part of the b5media.com family of blogs and it was the foresight of Duncan Riley that eventually got us into it. We were part of WeblogEmpire.com in early 2005 but we then got absorbed into b5media.com as Duncan, Jeremy Wright and Darren Rowse were cooking up some big plans to shake the Blogging universe.
I don’t want to rant on with the boring stuff so now here’s some good news. We’re giving away some nice presents and gifts during our birthday month in June 2006. Not exactly Porshes and Rolex watches but more in the guise of gadgets and peripherals. I’ll announce the list of prizes in the next few weeks.
If you want to sponsor some prizes, then give me a shout at - colbert {at} thegadgetblog.com
Cheers
Colbert Low
Editor for TheGadgetBlog.com
