Welcome to the new Engadget, humans! As you can tell by taking a quick look around, we’ve been doing some major work on the site behind the scenes, and we couldn’t possibly be more excited to finally share this work with the rest of the world. For months now — nearly the whole year — we’ve been tinkering, adjusting, tweaking, and honing the experience at Engadget with one goal in mind: do what we do as best as we can, and bring news to our readers better than anyone else. We think we’ve achieved that goal through a lot of hard work and long days (and nights), and it is truly awesome to finally be able to show everyone!
Obviously there is a ton of new stuff here, and if you’re a long-time reader of the site, you’ll probably be a little shell-shocked at first. Don’t worry, we’re still cranking out news the way we always have; in fact, we think the new design will allow us to crank even harder and provide more up-to-the-minute info to you guys. If you’re a new reader, you picked the right time to check us out, because the site has never been more organized, had more content, or been more useful to someone who’s reading us for the first time!
We just want to say that this has been a long labor of love, and we’re thrilled that we get to share it with the world. We think that the new Engadget evolves our work in a major way, moving us from a straightforward blog into something else, an expandable amalgamation that fuses the good bits of blogs, social media, news sites, magazines, and video into something bigger than those parts.
We’re going to walk you guys through some of the major new features (there are a ton, believe us), but first we want to talk a little about how the site got to where it is right now, and who the people are responsible for this thing. Read on after the break for all the info!
Update: Hey, we’re having a few issues with the introduction of the new site. Hang tight, it’ll be perfect soon!
