Geekologie presents things in life that give us the right to call our world "colourful". Reading each blog post is like drinking an energy drink. It is like a Lego car, amazing cake or spectacular bike stunt ... the list is long and no words can describe the feeling. This blog contains news about people dedicated to their hobby and about their fans. It is for readers who want to come out of their own shell for a moment and dive into the colourful world.

These are only some of the blogs that are worth visiting at least once. I have selected them so that they are different, unusual and interesting. The truth is that there are great blogs for every interest and topic you can think of.

Video blogs

Being a fan of tech news, I would like to introduce you to a few good video channels or video blogs.

My absolute favourite is LinusTechTips, not because of the reviews, which are really good, but because of the energy of its creator and presenter. This guy is crazy and nearly 600,000 subscribers enjoy the mix of his love for technology and really weird behaviour. How many people have you seen reviewing computer components with a baby in hands?

Among the specialised reviews, you can enjoy a lot of fresh videos and playful polls. I would say that this is a video channel for connoisseurs, who want to know about the contents of the tech gadget they want to buy or what they will find inside the box, even before its official appearance in shops. Unpacking various products has become a huge field of activities on the web. This is not just the opening of the package of a tablet or smartphone; this is the first impression that has the power of tilting the scales to the specific product, in a positive or negative direction.

Marques Brownlee’s reviews are some of the most pleasant and balanced ones. When I saw his video for the first time, I was amazed at his skills, calmness and routine while presenting the product. Moreover, my opinion is not subjective or exaggerated. The proof of Marques’ competence is the recent interview of the CEO of Motorola.

The fact is that more technology brands trust the young author.

When will we catch up with ...

Believe it or not, but after this brief “stroll” I again have the feeling that we are forever behind the overseas media. I am not saying this is necessarily bad, as we have our way of development and local charm. We have our own original blogs, bloggers and posts too. Only the scale is different. In Bulgaria, you can boast if you have a blog that is visited by 300 people a day. What I miss is the presence of large blogs, of professional blogs with their own opinion, not only of blogs on political issues, for which it will not be necessary to try to found out who is behind them and who finances them, but also of blogs about all sorts of topics. We may never read such blogs, again because of the scale and the language in which they are written.

On the other hand, we have the US and international blogs that we read without losing the charm of local blogs which is due precisely to the scale. Blog culture is here and, in symbiosis with social networks, it has the potential to grow, change and evolve.
