If you don’t know, now you know, Quirks.
Pivot Power just hit threshold, in a rapid-fire FOUR DAYS. Wahoo!
The blogs are loving this product. Some choice quotes:
We think Quirky, the “social product development company” that relies on crowdsourcing for its design and engineering teams, may have their first mass-market hit on their hands… — Core77
The community-driven Quirky website has already managed to bring products like the Space Bar and DigiDude camera mount to market, and it’s now offering what may well be its most useful product to date: the Pivot Power strip. — Engadget
Ok, so this is legitimately great. Ninety percent of the stuff I write about… meh. It’s called the Pivot Power, and it’s a electrical outlet that changes shape, allowing you to snake it around corner, shoes, the giant Xbox 360 power supply, and other obstructions. Pretty amazing, this. — CrunchGear
… thanks to Quirky’s Pivot Power, you’ll no longer have to worry about turning into a rage filled maniac when you’re trying to plug in your gear, as they’ve designed a completely flexible power strip that assures that all of those horribly shaped power bricks don’t hog up all of the space … Awesome, right? Of course it is. My only question is, is why in the hell did it take until 2010 for something like this to be developed?! — Blast
Sometime my email brings me nothing but endless useless PR pitches, offers to talk with an “expert” on iPad cases or just the usual offers to help export $6 million worth of Viagra from Nigeria. I live through these for the occasional Perfect Storm, a product that makes my gadget-sense tingle, something which not only ticks, but tickles every box on my emotional gee-gaw checklist. Today is such a day. — Wired Gadget Lab
Here’s to a hit!
