Web Site of the Week: TheWirecutter.com
Posted by: Christine Bulson

The Wirecutter.com is a new site with the sub-title “the list of best gadgets.”  Brian Lam launched the site in September after stepping down from Gizmodo.com in June where he had been editorial director. The site has evaluations and recommendations of smart phones, cameras, laptops, televisions, tablets, wireless speakers, e-book readers, etc. that are all written by Lam.  He also includes “Best Sources” which are references to articles that evaluated the gadgets.  The recommendations are short and to the point and written in a casual style.  With holiday shopping starting this month, The Wirecutter will be a useful tool for deciding what specific gadget would make the perfect gift.
