Which Nerdy News Sites Aren’t Famous Yet But Should Be?

An amazing group of people have devoted time, even careers these past months getting ready for the big launch of, well, some of you know. The rest will find out. We’ve got people who are already celebrities on board, but we’re also going to show off the work coming from so many non-celebrities’ sites big and small, especially small. Countless bloggers are writing for their own sheer enjoyment regardless of anybody else and that’s great, but plenty among them are producing quality news, views, reviews, and interviews worthy of reaching a wider audience.

We’re about to do something about that.

Nic Baisley: I can agree with iFanboy.com even though they did get pretty well hyped on Revision 3. Obviously I’m gonna do the egoistical thing and say FilmSnobbery…But I can wait 🙂 Also would like to see Kat on TV more.

    Bricksofthedead.com for sure

  2. Katie says:

    How about actionmovieguys.com

  3. Kitty says:

    http://www.screencrush.com

    It just launched yesterday!

  4. Nerdy, geeky and dorky all wrapped up in a Snow White-gone-bad package … or so I’m told 😀
    Scribing for not only myself at jennypop.net, but Comic-Con’s annual Souvenir Book (Peanuts and Tarzan homages) and http://www.goodtobeageek.com as Miss Hannah Hart, ghostdame of the Hotel del Coronado, I’ve also got a series of published historical-fiction under my tapestry belt: Savannah of Williamsburg. It’s Redwall meets Muppet Treasure Island meets Johnny Tremain … what’s nerdier than that? (I’ve also just published The Darlings of Orange County, the tale of a Word Nerd who’s had just about enough of all the vapid chicks getting the gold. Look out, mindless trash; Veronica Darling is on the hunt.”
