Today brings news that everyone’s favorite Davis-square-based-alien-mascot-bearing startup, Reddit, has been acquired by CodneNet, the digital-internet-Wired portion of magazine giant Conde Nast.

Reddit soaks up all my slack time for reading online. The New Yorker brings dozens of physical pages worth reading every week. So I must also congratulate Conde Nast on completing their virtual monopolization of my news intake.

Unfortunately the Reddit guys will be moving to CodeNet HQ in San Francisco. We’ll miss you guys, but wish you all the best in your new digs. Congratulations!
