zB cited on Engadget!

ACE · 11-11-2007, 08:40 AM

When Engadget wanted to feature the latest Zune news and buzz going around on the internet, it turned to Zune forums for the latest scoop. And who was one of its sources of the latest info? None other than ZuneBoards and a recent article where we featured exclusive information from one of our own staff!

So? What's the big deal? Not only is Engadget a place where people go to get solid information, and is a resource to millions of online gadget freaks, Engadget recognized we had a scoop that no one else did! And what happened next? The article featured on the front page got nearly 3,000 hits in 3 hours!

Thanks to Lacrosse and his information (which I can personally attest to being legitimate) who made it possible for ZuneBoards to be referenced in one of the largest online gadget sites!

And now HERE at mobilitysite.com too (They put our name in the title)!

Yup, I saw that yesterday and thought that I wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

EDIT: I saw the Engadget thing... Not Mobility Site. Awesome!

I bet Engadget feels left behind by zB when it comes to Zune News but than again don't they usually trash Microsoft anyways? Well, at least this is a stick in their eye for not being the first to have the latest info.

That's cool.

Not really. Probably 90% of all Engadget's stories are off tips by users. Rarely are they first to a story.

Congrats. I understand you're excited about this, but this isn't the first time we were mentioned on Engadget.

ACE · 11-11-2007, 04:03 PM

I know, but when was the last time it was featured here that we were....?

Wootmasta · 11-11-2007, 04:32 PM

our last article that got linked was the one about texting from zune to zune which turned out fake

Or back in the day (how i found the site) the fake linux video/news

so... yeah... Goodjob though

Carlos · 11-11-2007, 06:01 PM

At least this is a credited article and not fake (as far as now o.o) =]

Again, when was there an article on THIS site telling everyone that we were highlighted on a major site like engadget? I realise we've been on engadget before, but I was merely trying to spread the word that hey! We are cool!

Thank you Captain Obvious!

Zuneologist · 11-12-2007, 10:38 AM

Good job Mike. keep spreading the word.

(i'll figure out who Mike is eventually)
