About Gawbler.com

| Sunday, March 1, 2009

What is Gawbler.com? Contrary to popular belief, Gawbler.com, or simply Gawbler, did not get its name from the onomatopoeiaic word, gobble. Nope, the site is not about turkeys nor is it a wannabe of the equally onomatopoeiaic Twitter. Gawbler got its name from gawble, a term in data communications jargon which means a bit block that is considerably larger than a nybble and a byte (bigger even than a playte and a chawmp!). In keeping with the site's tagline, bits. nybbles. bytes., Gawbler aims to "gawble" bits, nybbles and bytes of information, useful or otherwise, it could find from the Web and everywhere else and share it to readers so they (you!) could gawble them too!

Who is Gawbler.com? Gawbler.com is a bored jaded, but otherwise geeky and knowledge-greedy, electronics engineer, Web 2.0 advocate, bookmarker, music shuffler, motion picture enthusiast, iPhone app reviewer, Potterhead and blogger striving to get a life and make a living. His name is Aldrin Calimlim. You can follow him on Plurk, Twitter and/or Plinky, and/or friend him on Facebook.

Where is Gawbler.com? Gawbler.com is based in the Philippines but you can find it wherever you are in the world by entering www.gawbler.com in your Firefox address bar. Shame on you if you're still using IE!

Why is Gawbler.com? Good question.

How is Gawbler.com? Fine, thank you.
