Mediaite Site For Geeks Debuts Monday

  • January 20, 2010

Just in time for the launch of the Apple tablet, Mediaite next Monday will launch its first spinoff site-Geekosystem-covering everything from technology and science fiction to video games and comics. The site is one of three new online projects Mediaite plans to launch by March including Stylite, focused on fashion and beauty, and a sports-themed version of its Power Grid ranking of media personalities.

In a post Wednesday about Geekosystem, Mediaite Managing Editor Colby Hall promised the site "will merge the content aggregation of popular web culture destinations with the editorial voice of the post-Web 2.0 generation of geek luminaries." On board as top editor is Mediaite contributor Robert Quigley.

Started last July by former MSNBC host Dan Abrams, Mediaite had 819,000 monthly unique visitors as of December, according to Web tracking firm Compete. --Mark Walsh
