Thanks to Amos for pointing out the redirect from the US site is now in full effect. Kinda caught us with our pants down, as we haven’t quite caught up with today’s feed content from the US.
Rest assured we’ll be keeping their stuff as close to live as possible, while bringing our own set of posts to the mix.
I’ll be running a few posts in coming days to ask for your input on how you want this edition to run. In the meantime, if you need to tell us we suck, there is a comment section available and you can always tell me to my inbox.
Now, on with the show…

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 6:40 PMWho says Aussies can’t do tech! Really looking forward to a war of the wit between the Aussie and US editions. We know we’ll win ;)

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 8:48 PMNice one, guys. I had to do a double-take when I spotted .au in the address bar this evening! Looking forward to seeing some fresh local content in the Gizmodo mix.

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 9:47 PMShucks… Our own little mirror. At least the double frame edition doesnt come up now.

Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at 2:43 AMGood news for all us people in Oz! I thought I was still on the US version even after reading this post. I thought all the ’0′ posts on here was coz’ everyone abandoned the US version or something…woops!

Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at 10:26 AMSo what’s the point? An automated script that jacks the price up 3x to approximate Australian prices? A 1-3 year posting delay to approximate the wait we suffer in Australia? Or an extra 2 posts a year showcasing the bustling Australian tech industry?

Thursday, April 26, 2007 at 9:32 AMI was wondering why there were so many Posts with zero comments then noticed the .au! Will there be a way to view US comments?
Does this mean we will have Aussie Dealzmodo entries?
I’ve been reading Gizmodo for over 3 years now, started when I lived in the US. I just wish http://www.techbargains.com had an aussie version.
Oh how about the live preview of the comments as your typing like in the US version?

Thursday, April 26, 2007 at 9:42 AMYes Adz, we’ll be getting on top of Aussie Dealzmodo real soon, plus running competitions for Aussie readers (finalising a few for launch next week, we hope) and entries only an Aussie could love.
And we’re working on getting that auto view of comment code fixed, because somehow it got messed up in translation.
