Engadget.com Bought by AOL,
Immediately Stops Working

I noticed tonight that Weblogs, Inc. got bought by AOL. If you don’t know, Weblogs is the company behind Engadget and other blogs that basically post regurgitated press releases and content from other ‘lesser’ blogs as roughly 99% of their content. That said, when I tried to get to engadget to show someone, I got the following instead.

So, does everything AOL touches turn to crap or did the wheels come off the car the moment it was bought off the lot?

Yeah, I’m being cheeky here. Seriously, it’s nice to see them rewarded for their efforts, although I can’t help but wonder how this investment is worth the money.
