Download Squad and Switched being shut down

Part of my daily routine is to visit the AOL Tech blogs. So you would imagine the huge surprise I got when I check yesterday to find a post titled “Farewell, Internet”. Download Squad and Switched have always been favorites of mine and have an awesome layout thats easy to read.

Initially I thought it was something to do with the upcoming shortage of IP addresses but as I read further it seems the two sites are no longer getting the traffic they need to pay the bills. They were great sites for finding interesting information that maybe wasn’t so main stream. Oh well, it was great while it lasted.
