Geeknet owns and operates SourceForge, Slashdot, ThinkGeek, Geek.com, ohloh, and freshmeat. Each month, we provide over 45 million geeks with content, connections, commerce, and all the things that geeks crave.

Technology has invaded nearly every aspect of our personal and professional lifestyles.  People all over the world are much more connected through technology now than ever before.

Geeknet is a more accurate reflection of our business and the large global community who visits our web sites every day. Geeks truly understand technology, can manipulate its capabilities to their benefit, and have become increasingly essential and admired.

We continually strive to create smart, highly interactive, and targetable advertising solutions, connecting your brand with this remarkable group of active, affluent, and influential people.

We are Geeknet. We get Geeks.
