The folks that post content to Blog@Newsarama have announced that they collectively will be leaving Newsarama on November 30. On December 1, Blog@Newsarama will continue with all new people. In other words, the only section of Newsarama worth reading since the acquisition by Imaginova is going bye-bye. I wonder if any of these new people even read funny books?
JK Parkin writes on Blog@Newsarama:
It’s kind of bittersweet, then, to announce that those of us who currently write for the blog are leaving Newsarama. It’s no secret that the site has gone through tremendous growing pains over the last few months and has been moving in a new direction since being purchased by Imaginova. Behind the scenes, there’s been a lot of growing pains as well, and we’ve reached the point where we think it’s better for us to move on. Nov. 30 will be our last day, and starting Dec. 1 you’ll be seeing a new crew take over the site.
Later on in the same post, JK Parkin hints to the fact that the team behind Blog@Newsarama will be forming up somewhere else to deliver the same excellent content:
Like I said, this isn’t a goodbye; it’s more like a “see you later.” Take care until then.
Like a lot of people, I look forward to where ever they end up next.
