    The Time Inc. Holocaust

    From today's Keith Kelly "Media Ink" column:

    Not everyone who was spared in the Business 2.0 meltdown is going to Fortune. Erick Schonfeld, who was an editor-at-large based in New York, has decided to end his 14-year career and jump to Michael Arrington's influential blog, TechCrunch.
    "It's true," said Schonfeld, "I've accepted a position to be co-editor at TechCrunch."
    "There was a 'Schindler's List' at one point, but I took my name off it so I'd be eligible for a severance package," he said.
    Nice one, Erick! Staying on at Fortune after your magazine folds is exactly like being spared from the gas chamber. Happy Yom Kippur!
