Over 300 blogs were nominated for the awards. Getting To Know The 2011 Winners “We have a variety of winners this year, with blogs that should appeal to a wide range of gadget enthusiasts,” “Our all female volunteer staff works hard to bring readers fun and interesting stories,” says Trina Schwimmer, CEO & Founder of GamingAngels.com. “We love writing about the gaming industry and in the process, we encourage other women to enjoy our hobby too. Retrevo has been amazing in consistently recognizing the work it takes to be an independent site.” “It’s difficult to stand out among the ten million or so blogs in the world, even when your site is devoted to original, useful content,” says HDTV Almanac creator Alfred Poor. “I started my site more than five years ago as a way to share news and commentary about HDTV and more than 1,400 entries later, it has gathered a following. Recognition like the Golden Retrevo Award helps sites like mine rise above the background noise and reach more readers.” “I started Just Another iPad Blog because I felt the iPad was going to be an amazing, game-changing device that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on,” says Patrick Jordan, founder of Just Another iPad Blog. “I’ve been so happy and humbled to see that there are a readers out there who share my passion. For me, the Golden Retrevo Award is a great way to stand out from the crowd.” “I started my blog as a way of providing additional information that’s easy to understand for all of my beginning digital camera students,” says Kathy Eyster, Digital Photography Instructor and creator of Essential Digital Camera. “It’s my way to share more information that I have time to present in classes or workshops. Being recognized by Retrevo for a second year is proof that people want to know what I’m sharing, and that I have a lot of dedicated followers in cyberspace.” “Winning the prestigious Golden Retrevo Award two years in a row is an amazing achievement,” “I started The Gadgeteer almost 14 years ago because I’ve been fascinated with gadgets and gizmos ever since I was a little kid, who dismantled anything with a motor or magnet,” says Julie Strietelmeier, founder of The Gadgeteer. “Being recognized for doing something I love doing is the icing on the cake of my life. I love it.” The full list of Golden Retrevo Award categories and winners can be seen on http://goldenretrevoawards.com.
