I'd say, Gizmodo is like Fox News, whereas Engadget is like CNN - the only good old media comparison I can make. You know how Fox News (aka Fox "News") is like a tabloid magazine with flashy ads and no real substance?
By the way, the use of the word "shit" right on the main page is pretty pathetic, you're right. They are definitely catering to 14-18 yo males. Engadget, on the other hand, is definitely targeting the 18-24 male crowd, more likely to be in college. Like CNN, they tend to have a bit more class because they have a reputation to defend as the big guy, but, are not without their many faults (both CNN and Engadget). My 2 cents, anyway.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
