For the last couple of days we’ve brought back our old Today in Engadget day-in-review posts. We know some love it (primarily those that don’t read in RSS), we know some don’t (primarily those that do read in RSS). Let’s put it to the numbers, though. Do you want us to continue running Today in Engadget posts at the end of the day? We’re not promising we’ll keep it going or or shut it down for good, we’re just kinda curious.
