Chris Ziegler Is Leaving Engadget
- bioinformatics 16y agoso, who is going to turn off the lights?
- m0nastic 16y agoJoanna Stern left yesterday, apparently, as well: https://twitter.com/#!/JoannaStern/status/52731217791041536 https://twitter.com/#!/JoannaStern/status/52731217791041536 I appreciate that each editor has written a big long blog post saying that they're not leaving because of AOL, but I think it's pretty apparent that something is going on (The sheer number of editors leaving at the same time is a little too convenient).
- kenjackson 16y agoWow, didn't know this. While there are still some good writers left, this probably completes the set of high profile editors on Engadget. This looks suspiciously like a new site is about to hatch with a lot of ex-Engadget writers working.
- chr15 16y agoSurely AOL had some sort of non-compete clause.

- moses1400 16y agoagree - they are all leaving one by one - something is definitely up - it's not like AOL was going to close EG so it's really interesting.
- dkarl 16y agoBig corporations change things. They don't want to, but they just can't help themselves. The Engadget guys are probably being asked to fill out quarterly training goals in Excel worksheets and enter their sick days in an IE6-only web app that goes down every day at 6pm for maintenance. Or maybe the editors were "invited" to attend leadership training. There are many kinds of torture that wouldn't encroach on editorial freedom.
- evandena 16y agoStill looking for an Engadget alternative, if anyone knows one...
- MatthewDP 16y agoAnother one bites the dust.
