Rumblings: In The (Immediate) Future, There Will Be No Words

>>> Holy shit: Just months after longtime publisher Paul Curci left City Paper, now comes the news that editor Brian Howard is jumping ship as well. Good luck with all of that, CP. Sheezus. [TheClog}
>>> And Brownstoner Philly just gave up the ghost, citing some total horseshit about how they couldn't sell ads (because they never hired an ad rep, maybe?). Oh well. Know this, though: Each time a (chain) blog fails in Philly, it gives ol' Philebs sweet life juice. We're not saying it's right, we're just saying it is. Aspriring real estate bloggers, get in touch with us. No, seriously. Phillyist, you're next. [Brownstoner]
>>> And finally, for reasons known only to… no one, Foobooz sold itself to PhillyMag — you know, because PhillyMag has done such a truly great job with its web presence over the last decade. [Foobooz]

    I’m glad you got enough “juice” from Gabby et al working their asses off over at Brownstoner to reheat your Eagles and suburbanite schtick for this week.

    Grid getting Best Publication from you guys 2 years in a row must have really had an impact, huh?

    Barry, I’ve got a lot of respect for the fine work Gabby did over there. I’m commenting more on how they made absolutely no effort at all to make the money required to keep it going. Which is certainly no dis on her.
