Hack-A-Day goes independent

hackaday.com — Hack-A-Day wasn't part of the deal when AOL bought Weblogs, Inc. They will continue to do what they've always done, independent of any network.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Engadget should do that too.
  • BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like the content of Hack-A-Day, but it's just a little hard to read. They don't really use capitalization... nor correct puncuation.
  • chileman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thank god.
  • green1152, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Will there be a chance of actually buying Hack-A-Day merch now? I understand that they couldn't sell merch because of their uppers.. correct?
  • fighto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0saw this coming. about time.
  • moorey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You mean Hack-A-Day was independent before the purchase, and now it's going independent?

    Wondering the same thing. I don't really follow hack-A-day, so I wouldn't know. If anyone wants to clarify, that would be great.
  • dewey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hack-A-Day was awesome, but lately since it's just been Eliot updating, it's gotten pretty bland. Glad to hear they're still doing what they've been doing, regardless of mergers. They should do fine on their own.
  • hybrid8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HAD is my fav Weblog. They always have interesting stuff. And I love the informalism :D

  • mpeng168, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0AOL doesn't want people to realize there's something better. AOL doesn't want people to hack things and realize that America doesn't need AOL.

    eliot isn't bad, he just doesn't post alot. he hates me (I'm sure) for advertising in his comments for my version of hackaday. I was mad cause they werent posting as many hacks so I made newtechinc.blogspot.com . I was also kinda nervous about the aol buy out and figured I didn't want the idea of hackaday going to waste. Now that they are indie thats no longer a problem.
  • George.Bush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Did anyone else see that "Historic 100 yr Old Brick" ad? I'm seeing that everywhere, even here on Digg.
  • dbpigeon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hack-a-day and engadget were my favorites.
  • sparkmonkeyz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I LOVE hackaday and i love engadget too but they got eaten up by the giant aol monster, for the record, "i hate you aol, you stupid f**cken bastards, i hope all of you burn in f**cking hell whoever started that gay mother f**cking company." thank you and... dugg
