Joshua left Engadget?! I just learned this. Wow. I guess I should pay more attention. I look at Engadget almost daily. Their article quality doesn't seem to have suffered.

It's been over a year and a half[0] since Josh and many of the other senior staff (Nilay Patel, Paul Miller, Joanna Stern, Chris Ziegler, Ross Miller) left Engadget. The Verge has been up for almost a year now, and I guarantee you that it's far better than Engadget ever was (and definitely better than it is now). For proof, look no further than their features[1] - there's some real hard-hitting journalism there. Check out these pieces for some examples:

As a fellow The Verge fan - don't forget to mention "On The Verge". I was blown away by quality of this show.

Does that mean you also haven't heard of TheVerge (Joshua's new site)? Because it's probably the best tech news site out there right now (not yet the biggest though).

I've heard of the Verge maybe once, now twice. The video reviews are quite nice. I do still think that the layout of the site is a bit loud. But, anyway, thanks for the comment. I'll check it out a bit more.
