When it comes to technology sites, Gizmodo does for geeks what Gawker does for the media-obsessed, Deadspin does for sports nuts, and Lifehacker does for DIY-ers: updating news, gossip, comment, culture, and innovation feeds on a regular basis to keep techie readers well-informed—with a healthy dose of snark.

While Gizmodo caters to gadget-lovers of all kinds (and not necessarily always green), it's still a key resource for staying up-to-date on the newest, most advanced technologies—and that includes energy-efficient solutions, multifunctional gear, and who-would-ever-need-that gadgets. The Gizmodo product reviews are smart and thoughtful, and the commenters aren't afraid to chime in with their own thoughts, pointing out pros and cons that make it easier to justify—or ignore—each product.

Not a technology buff? Practical posts offer tips on choosing the right graphics card, the difference between computer operating systems, and the benefits of LED-backlit LCD televisions, and other techie topics.

But what makes it green? Use it as a resource to make sure you're spending your time and money on electronics that are useful and that will last, instead of blindly following trends. Check the DIY archives for projects that include a Nintendo controller-turned-doorbell, a Blu-ray laser keychain, and portable speakers from PET bottles—all of which you can appreciate whether you're a decidedly geeky greenie or just a person looking for a new cell phone.
