From Business Insider:

The team of editors that has streamed away from AOL’s Engadget is going to start a tech site for new media startup SB Nation.

Engadget’s former editor in chief Joshua Topolsky announced the move on his blog and in the New York Times tonight.
Topolsky says he’s joining SB Nation because it, “believes in real, independent journalism and the potential for new media to serve as an answer and antidote to big publishing houses and SEO spam — a point we couldn’t be more aligned on.”

It sounds like they really loved having AOL as their daddy at Engadget.
