It was founded in 1996 and was run independently until 2007 when it was sold to Name Media, after which it was sold to Geeknet, and then to its current owner, <a href="Ziff_Davis" title="Ziff Davis">Ziff Davis</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Geek.com was founded in 1996 by Joel Evans and Rob Hughes. Joel's brother, Sam Evans, was soon added as the site's chief editor.<sup id="cite_ref-zdnet_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-zdnet-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The site was founded as the Ugeek newsletter but soon became a larger online portal with multiple different sections, including JobGeek, GameGeek, PDAGeek, and ChipGeek.<sup id="cite_ref-Net_Success_Interview_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Net_Success_Interview-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Among the site's many early successes was Ugeek.com's popular Processor Archive.<sup id="cite_ref-ETgeek_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ETgeek-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In March 2007 Geek.com was sold to NameMedia, a company that specializes in domain name reselling and parking. NameMedia had recently acquired <a href="Philip_Greenspun" title="Philip Greenspun">Philip Greenspun</a>'s photo.net and was building out its Enthusiast Media Network, where Geek.com would be the lead technology site. After the acquisition Rob Hughes and Sam Evans left the site, though co-founder Joel Evans stayed on in his role as Chief Geek. Soon afterwards the site's mobile analyst Matthew "palmsolo" Miller left the site and started writing at <a href="ZDnet" class="mw-redirect" title="ZDnet">ZDnet</a>'s Mobile Gadgeteer blog.
</p><p>In mid-2007 Geek.com underwent a major redesign, moving away from the platform that it had used since 2001, and did away with the subportals, like PDAgeek.
</p><p>In August 2007 NameMedia acquired XYZcomputing.com a <a href="Computer_hardware" title="Computer hardware">computer hardware</a> website and hired its founder, Sal Cangeloso, to be the site's Senior Editor.
</p><p>In May 2010 NameMedia sold Geek.com to <a href="Geeknet" title="Geeknet">Geeknet</a> for $1 million.<sup id="cite_ref-Geeksold_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Geeksold-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cangeloso, who had been promoted to Editor-in-Chief when Joel Evans left at the close of 2009 stayed on board in the same position.
</p><p>The troubled <a href="Geeknet" title="Geeknet">Geeknet</a> sold Geek.com to <a href="Ziff_Davis" title="Ziff Davis">Ziff Davis</a> at the beginning of January 2011<sup id="cite_ref-Geekziff_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Geekziff-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for an undisclosed amount. Once again Cangeloso stayed on, as did longstanding News Editor, Matthew Humphries.
</p><p>In 2016, Geek.com was significantly retooled under a new staff, consisting of Editor-in-Chief Chris Radtke, Managing Editor Sheilah Villari, and Senior Editor Jordan Minor. Along with a visual redesign, the site expanded its focus to broader geek culture topics like technology, gaming,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> movies, TV, and comic books. A new team of freelancers was brought on board to carry out this vision, including YouTube film critic Bob "MovieBob" Chipman.
</p><p>At the end of 2016, the site hosted a five-hour Facebook "Gifted and Talented Show" made up of sketches and holiday gift suggestions. One notable article, an explanation on the lies surrounding the cartoon <a href="Street_Sharks" title="Street Sharks">Street Sharks</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-GeekSharks_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GeekSharks-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> went viral on sites like <i><a href="Vox_(website)" title="Vox (website)">Vox</a></i>, <i><a href="The_A.V._Club" title="The A.V. Club">The A.V. Club</a></i>, and <i><a href="Gawker" title="Gawker">Gawker</a></i>.
</p><p>As of December 2023, the site was updated to show a message announcing it's "taking a break at the moment". It also links out to three other Ziff Davis brands as recommended alternatives.
