Extrove.com, A Website Featuring Gadgets For Men, To Hold Consumer Awards

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

Extrove.com, a website featuring products for the male demographic, is set to publish their first awards tagged "The Extrove.com Consumer Awards for 2011." The awards will feature the best gadgets, services and products for males in individual categories. Some of the awards are the Best Smartphone App, Best Grooming Product, Hottest Gadget and Most Wanted Sports Car.

"With our launch last month, the reception of our website and products we feature has been nothing short of phenomenal. We've been steadily creating an engaging community through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. In line with these developments, we are thinking right into the future of the website, that is to become one of the leading lifestyle websites for men. This consumer awards is just one of the projects we've lined up to commit to this vision," says founding editor Marco Martinez.

Extrove.com was launched in August this year to cater to the growing market for Men's lifestyle products. The website has a team of writers who scour the internet for the latest products, services and gadgets for men.

"We don't focus on one type of product of service; If it is interesting it is reviewed by our writers and is posted on the website," Martinez says. One of the popular articles on the website are about the best beatles songs, an indication on the increasing sophistication of the market the website is catering to.

Generally, Extrove.com reviews gadgets, food, movies, cars, clothes and books. It also publishes guides that are helpful to the male set, things about dating, fitness and health. "A few users have also suggested we feature exercises, and we seriously considered this as one of our projects in the future. We really take suggestions from user to heart," said the founding editor. If the recent article about workout songs is an indication, it just shows that Extrove.com indeed takes its users' input seriously.

Extrove.com has a very long way to go to become the Cosmopolitan magazine for men, but the upcoming Extrove.com Annual Consumer Awards may perhaps help realize this dream. "I am definitely looking forward to this awards list by as it will help me in one way or another with future purchasing decisions," says regular reader Henry Adams.
