A technology news website and blog that covers consumer electronics, gadgets, and digital culture. Founded in 2004, it became one of the most influential tech media outlets.
Coined as a portmanteau of 'engage' and 'gadget' in 2004 by founder Peter Rojas. The name reflects the site's mission to engage readers with the latest gadget news and reviews.
Engadget emerged during the early blogging boom and helped define how we consume technology news today, shifting from traditional magazine formats to real-time, conversational coverage. The name itself became so recognizable that it influenced how other tech publications named themselves, often using similar compound words.
