What is Lockergnome? Well, a big, respected site PageRanking 8. But what exactly is it? A portal? What’s it’s history? What’s it’s purpose? I don’t know. Lockergnome has no about page. I class this as a downside. In the Wikipedia, it simply redirects to Chris Pirillo, the founder and maintainer of Lockergnome. I think it would be good if someone could find this out and edit the Wikipedia.
Chris claims to be world’s geekiest geek (see Meta description for blog). Chris Pirillo is an internet celebrity. As a former TechTV host, author (writing Poor Richard’s Email Publishing, Online! The Book (with John C. Dvorak), and Lockergnome’s Computer Tips Compendium) and a columnist for CPU Magazine and an online radio presenter (The Chris Pirillo Show). Chris also writes a blog.
Chris is friends with many influential people in the internet community including the recently controversial Adam Curry. If your still not certain of Chris Pirillo’s importance Google Chris.
It will be be interesting to see if the Chris Pirillo Effect works.
Of course it works.
Oh, Lockergnome! I’ve been getting their newsletters for years. But they never looked right in Gmail, so I unsubscribed not too long ago. I still check the site from time to time.
So, how is that? Chris commented on your blog!
