SAUSALITO, Calif., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Media Publishing Inc., the fast-growing network of author-driven websites including Digg, Boing Boing and Dooce, is pleased to announce the launch of the FM Holiday Gadget Guide, sponsored by Best Buy.

The FM Holiday Gadget Guide brings together a cadre of FM Authors comprised of some of the web's most well-respected gadget aficionados. Contributors include: L.C. Angell and Charles Starrett of Uncrate; Deane Barker of Gadgetopia; Gareth Branwyn of Street Tech; Sal Cangeloso of XYZ Computing; Andru Edwards of Gear Live; Glenn Fleishman of Wi-Fi Networking News; Matthew Haughey of PVR Blog; David Ponce of Oh Gizmo!; and Phil Torrone of Make:Blog.
