Tangled Web

I often check in on Megan McArdle over at The Atlantic website.  Lately she's been on leave but now she's left for good, moving on to the greener pastures of Newsweek/Daily Beast.

It must have been quite an offer since it strikes me as a step down.  But who knows, or perhaps, who cares?  On the internet, we're all just a click away, and pixels are pixels.

Whether it was intentional or not, Megan has become a brand name and she brings a readership with her no matter where she goes, which is why I assume Newsweek, which has seen better days, wanted her.  I wish her luck, and hope (and expect) she won't change too much.
