“As thing-obsessed as Americans are, most of us lack the time or inclination to ponder our “stuff.” Not so, the good folks behind oobject.com, a website devoted to cool (and sometimes hideous) gadgets and the people who love them.”

OObject the latest Wists site launches today.

Oobject is a gadget blog, but with a difference. Instead of posts, there are ‘charts’ constantly updated image galleries with the best items in each category, voted on by users. As usual, the focus is or quirky, unusual or well designed lists of things.

OObject is a bit like Billboard charts for gadgets.

OObject is a major leap forward in terms of the way our sites work as it completely couples the wists publishing system into a customized version of Wordpress, and uses the new editorial back-end of wists for management.

Our latest site Yokiddo has just launched. Yokiddo is a collection of the best kids and baby wear updated daily, and joins Cribcandy and Popgloss in the Wists network.

“… will be interesting to see if it can stand up against social shopping sites like Kaboodle or Wists which are broader and not solely targeted at women.”
