Lockergnome.com was founded by Chris Pirillo, the host of Call for Help on the then TechTV, more than a decade ago as an online technology website and newsletter targeted towards technology enthusiasts. Over the years, Chris Pirillo found it increasingly challenging to keep finding new content to post on his website and newsletters on a daily basis, and hired several people to write his content. Today Lockergnome has evolved into a technology network offering technology news, support forums, software downloads and a blog network.

Among the various features present on Lockergnome, the most popular, and certainly one of the most prominent feature is the blogs maintained by its various members. While some people might contend that the content is not from Chris directly, the blogs are hosted on his servers. Additionally, it provides Lockergnome with the ability to present a wealth of information on a wide variety of subjects on a daily basis. On some days, Lockergnome features up to 50 blog entries per day, which is indeed a powerful content source. However, not everyone who applies is given a blog on Lockergnome, as it is up to the site moderators to decide if a particular blog is in line with their aspirations and theme.

Besides blog content, Lockergnome also features eBooks which provide pointers on various technology topics, including help with computer problems and tips on improving your computing experience. Some of the eBooks, such as Personal Branding for Technology Professionals is available for free, while others such as Obfuscating .NET can cost up to $40 per download.One of the early features which caused Lockergnome to gain popularity in its early days was the daily recommendations of interesting and useful software. This feature has now been expanded to a full section on the Lockergnome website. There are literally thousands of software listed in many directories and sub-directories designed to help you easily find the software you are looking for. Before downloading, you will also be able to read a short review of each software by the Lockergnome team.Lockergnome also features technology products for sale through their website. While it benefits Lockergnome through affiliate income, users of Lockergnome also stand to benefit from the many offers and coupons made available exclusively to them via the website. This is makes it mutually beneficial for their users to shop through the Lockergnome site.

Besides the above, Chris has also diversified into other businesses to complement his Lockergnome website. A few worth mentioning are gnomedomains.com, the domain name registration company, the GnomeDex annual technology conference, and the Lockergnome Arcade game portal available at www.lockergnome.com/arcade . Chris also maintains a technology and personal themed blog on chris.pirillo.com which he updates regularly. All in all, Lockergnome is a complete one stop technology portal for anyone who would like to keep abreast with the latest developments in the technology world.
