The article makes Download Squad sound like a very successful blog, but it doesn't mention if it was making a profit or not (and, if not, if it was likely to in the future). That's surely an important question?
Don't worry I'm sure Arianna Huffington will let them continue to work for free!
I try every now and then to read the Huffpo but I always stop at some point because of the web site itself - it is distracting- It is not the politics - I like a lot of the stories its just I find the web site more than a little disconcerting - there is always something that I do not expect happening - I will click on a link and get a page of links when I expect a story - or a picture and get a landing page of some sort. it is worse than Digg
Downloadsquad was a great team. No bullshit, real opinions on big and little things that matter. Another horror story from AOL since AOL v.s. Engadget editors.
I'm a bit sad about this. I liked DownloadSquad, and they did some good work.
I hope they find success in their next endeavours.
