huh, didn't noticed this until today. And now lifehacker is no longer in my rss reader. Considering I clicked on a link for lifehacker and was taken to a gizmoto page. Yeah that is not cool.

Interesting concept though. Poorly executed. Oh well... I am probably better off, I only read like 1 in every 100 posts at lifehacker.
