The Download Squad blog is being shuttered by the new AOL-Huffpo merged
entity. A "Farewell, Internet" post was left on the blog today.
> Well, here we are. More than four years after launching, Switched and
DownloadSquad are unfortunately being closed. I've been thrilled to work at
these two sites that have expanded tech coverage beyond the usual gadgets and
social networks to cooking, culture, design, art and more. It's been humbling
to work with these incredibly dedicated and talented teams of writers, and it
would have been impossible to do it without them.
Going forward, you'll still be able to get the best tech news coverage from
Engadget, HuffingtonPost Tech, Joystiq and TUAW. While we're still working out
some of the details, Switched and DownloadSquad will continue to live on the
Web and be fully accessible via search. Understandably, our Facebook, Twitter
and Tumblr presences will quiet down, but you can still follow the Switched
and DownloadSquad writers on their personal accounts. Thanks for reading.
Editor Sebastian Anthon tweeted, "In a world where software is moving towards
ubiquity, AOL-HuffPo has seen fit to shut down the best software blog on the
Web. Insane."
