I’m Glad I Didn’t Invest in Jammies

Out of curiosity, is it common for a media company to completely rebrand themselves less than a week after launching? Even if they’re just going back to their old name, it still seems like a pretty dumb idea for a brand new company to do something this drastic (especially after vigorously defending their right to steal someone else’s name). Now that they’ve settled on what to call themselves, perhaps the dozens of bloggers all over the world can concentrate on putting more than 6 posts per day on the site. Destroying the MSM™ is going to take a little extra work, guys.
