Engadget is getting a whole lot bigger profiles, forums, product database, and so much more!

A few days ago we launched the best designed version of Engadget ever, and today we're about to get bigger. A lot bigger.

Back in 2008 when Peter Rojas and I departed Engadget to found gdgt, we had a hunch that the future would be driven by the intersection of social, interest, and product graphs. Today we're bringing it all home, integrating the best of gdgt into Engadget.

This means Engadget readers will have access to user profiles, forums + Q&A, and a massive, highly organized product database (among many other things). Finally.

Not only is this by far our biggest launch ever, it also marks a major turning point in our history, redefining the Engadget of today and laying the foundation for the Engadget of tomorrow.

I can't wait to tell you everything about all the new stuff Engadget can do for you, read on!

Help build the future of Engadget

Help build the future of EngadgetHello there! It's been a few months since we saw each other last, how've you been? (For those of you who have no idea who I am, my name is Ryan, and I used to be the Editor-in-Chief around these parts. These days I'm back working on the product side, in charge of designing and engineering the future of Engadget.)

I wanted to give you a quick update on what's been going on around here, since by most accounts Engadget doesn't look too different from when I returned earlier this year.

First, and most importantly, we've been working super hard behind the scenes to build some really great new stuff. We've launched a few small things on the site, but Engadget still has so much potential to evolve, and it's long overdue. I can't wait to launch some of our bigger initiatives this year.

However, I need some help. I'm looking for great designers (UI and UX) and experienced engineers (back-end or front-end), and a PM to bring the future to life.

Engadget's parent company is backing me up in a huge way in making a big investment in your favorite technology news site. We've got some great things planned, and I'd be stoked if you threw your hat in the ring.

More soon!

<3 Ryan + the Engadget product team
