Genuinely surprised Engadget's not worth more than that by itself considering they mostly get paid for rewriting articles. The profit per article when they sucker social sites into upvoting their spam must be fantastic.
- elithrar 15y agoI'm really glad Topolsky and the rest of the ex-Engadget staff started up The Verge. I still like to keep up with tech news, but Engadget became a significant source of blog-spam.
- martey 15y agoIs The Verge really much better? Their original editorial content is interesting, but like Engadget, a significant number of their daily articles just rehash news found elsewhere.
- elithrar 15y ago> a significant number of their daily articles just rehash news found elsewhere Part of that is par for the course - short of getting their hands on every gadget under the sun, there has to be some rehashing. They do seem to make their source links pretty clear though (unlike Engadget; a pet peeve of mine) and the ratio of rehashed content vs. reviews/commentary/etc seems much higher. It's still early days yet, though, so we'll see if they keep to that standard.
