Are we starting to see the emergence of AOL’s culture invading the Weblogs Inc network many of us have come to know and love?

Checking engadget.com today I wanted to hop over to hackaday which in the past was locate on the links to the right of the page with the rest of the Weblogs Inc network. Today lo and behold it isn’t there.

I double checked a Google cache of engadget to make sure it really was there in the past. Yep it was see for yourself. Google Cache of Engadget Oct 9th 2005

    It must be some kind of conspiracy! AOL’s trying to keep the Hackers down!

    No, really, HaD is part of Weblogs, Inc. I’m sure it’s just a techincal error.

    AOL is afraid you will learn how to hack their G1b5ons with the multi-headed hydra swordfish worm.

    I love you…Ok.Not really.
