Ahem. Guess the news has broken, then.

Here is the news: “AOL Europe has lost one of its most senior Web 2.0 proponents with the departure of Meg Pickard, formerly consumer experience lead for social media, to become head of communities and user experience for Guardian Unlimited.”

Oooh I get first comment.
Well done. What a great opportunity. Go you. I look to seeing great things happening at the Guardian.
Congrats again.
Good news!
Guardian is already a good site - I look forward to it getting even better now.
Congrats, again.
Congratulations!
Congratulations. Does this mean that you will, in future, always spell Grauniad correctly on me(ish)?
Well done thee. I have no idea what the job means but it’s still jolly good.
hah! weird. I’ve been following your blog for a while and didnt know you worked at AOL! I do as well…
Have fun in your new gig!
f.
Congratulations, Meg - sounds as if it’ll be a good move for you.
Wow - after 9 years you must be going to miss the old place. What achievements are you most proud of?
Hurray!
Horrah! - About time that the Grauniad’s new meeja site had someone with a brain…that’ll be YOU !!
It is, after all, the s(h)ite that has so much potential, but no stickyness … ’cause it changes flavour and tone so often that inconsistency rules….but not for long I hope.
Congrats.
Cheers and congratulations.
Ah - so it *was* AOL (I thought as much). Was the pub the one just up Brook Green from Hammersmith Road? I had my CS/AOL leaving do there in 1999…
Congrats on the new job. Does that mean you’re Ben Hammersley’s boss?
pub:name=The Queen’s Head :)
Bizarre - news travels even faster - I read it in Private Eye on the way home from the theatre last night.
It’s in the “Birtspeak 2.0″ section on page 11.
Congrats Meg. The old place didn’t deserve you.
Ah, excellent - such good news!
