Macworld absorbs Mac OS X Hints

By C.K. Sample, III

This is sort of Mac meta-news. The Borg of the Mac news world*, Macworld, feeling threatened by the up-and-coming bravado of TUAW**, have decided to assimilate Mac OS X Hints into their ranks, promoting Rob Griffiths to a Senior Editor of Mac Publishing.

Jason Snell announced the move this morning, noting "And to those who would ask if Mac Publishing will simply fold Mac OS X Hints into Macworld.com, the short answer is 'no.' While all of us have learned to never say never one never knows what might happen several years down the road all of us agree that Mac OS X Hints is its own unique site with its own unique community of users. I cant envision it ever being anything but its own thing. Id love for Rob to use some of the things hes learned at Mac OS X Hints to help improve areas of Macworld.com, but that will be something that will happen in addition to not instead of his work on MacOSXHints.com."

Congrats to everyone involved!

*Note: Just kidding, guys! ;-)
**Note: This, in fact, had nothing whatsoever to do with the move.
