}}Lifehacker is a weblog about life hacks and software which launched on January 31, 2005. The site was originally launched by Gawker Media and is currently owned by Univision Communications. The blog posts cover a wide range of topics including: Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux programs, iOS and Android, as well as general life tips and tricks. The staff updates the site about 18 times each weekday, with reduced updates on weekends. The Lifehacker motto is "Tips, tricks, and downloads for getting things done."[2]

In addition, Lifehacker has four international editions, Lifehacker Australia, Lifehacker Japan, Lifehacker India and Lifehacker UK which feature most posts from the U.S. edition along with extra content specific to local readers.[3][4]

History

Gina Trapani founded Lifehacker and was the site's sole blogger until September 2005, when two associate editors joined her, Erica Sadun and D. Keith Robinson.[5] Other former associate editors include Wendy Boswell, Rick Broida,[6] Jason Fitzpatrick, Kevin Purdy, and Jackson West.[7] Former contributing editors include The How-To Geek,[8] and Tamar Weinberg.[9]Lifehacker{{'}}s frequent guest posts have included articles by Joe Anderson, Eszter Hargittai, Matt Haughey, Meg Hourihan, Jeff Jarvis.[10][11][12][13][14]

On January 16, 2009, Trapani resigned as Lifehacker{{'}}s lead editor and Adam Pash assumed the position.[15]

On February 7, 2011, Lifehacker revealed a redesigned site with a cleaner layout.[16] Then, on April 15, 2013, Lifehacker redesigned their site again to match the other newly redesigned Gawker sites, like Kotaku.[17]

On January 7, 2013, Adam Pash moved on from Lifehacker to a new start-up, and Whitson Gordon became the new editor-in-chief.[18]

On January 1, 2016, Whitson Gordon parted ways with Lifehacker to another popular technology website, How-To Geek, as their editor-in-chief [19] replacing Lowell Heddings.[20] In his announcement, Gordon confirmed that Alan Henry would take over as the interim editor pending interviewing processes. Alan Henry became the new editor-in-chief on February 1, 2016.

On February 3, 2017, Alan Henry left his position at Lifehacker. He has since moved on to write for the New York Times.[21]

On February 28, 2017, Melissa Kirsch became the editor-in-chief.[22]

Lifehacker was one of six websites that was purchased by Univision Communications in their acquisition of Gawker Media in August 2016.[23]

Podcast

Lifehacker staff ran the Ask Lifehacker podcast, which was discontinued in April 2014.

From May 2014, former Lifehacker writer Adam Dachis hosted Supercharged, a podcast with the same theme and set-up, on which Lifehacker writers Alan Henry, Whitson Gordon, Eric Ravenscraft, Thorin Klosowski and Patrick Allen frequently co-hosted.

As of January 2017, Lifehacker has a weekly podcast called [https://lifehacker.com/introducing-the-upgrade-a-new-podcast-from-lifehacker-1791708236 The Upgrade]. It is hosted by Melissa Kirsch and Alice Bradley and features experts and Lifehacker staff "helping you improve your life, one week at a time".[24]
