New lineup

The Atlantic Monthly seems to be pulling the blog-equivalent of a George Steinbrenner. What was once a blogless website now suddenly features Andrew Sullivan, Matthew Yglesias, Ross Douthat, and James Fallows. (The addition of Fallows is particularly exciting since a). I didn't know about his blog-move in advance, b). He will give, for lack of better words, editorial balance and reportage to the line-up, and c). It will probably mean more of his delightfully eclectic posts and also a dilution of the greater blogosphere's critical level of shrill stridence.)

Meanwhile, I'll be back here in Obscuristan if any of you guys want to shout out to me!

Comments

Notice that Sullivan has the only The Atlantic home page link of his own - right column, near top. I couldn't even find a link there for Yglesias, Fallows, and Douthat. The home page only links to 'The Atlantic Unbound' not to 'The Atlantic Online'.

I guess they are still learning how to do web stuff, in the transition from trees to electrons that is inevitabe.

Still, a nice bench of bloggers (ignoring Sullivan, who I can't stomach).
