[...] his URL that he was going to be more closely associated with PJ in one fashion or another, and they made an announcement of sorts. As for Amazon, anyone and his sock-puppet-in-law can earn affiliate points; this is no big deal. [...]

MD:
I concur. The diversity was appreciated. This is a step back.

I’m fairly neutral; it matters little to me where Glenn is hosted, but the little elves at Pajamas should really fix the coding errors that causes gobbledygook to appear wherever there is an apostrophe in his column. It looks tacky.

Well, I don’t like the change either. I can go to Glenn any time, and often do, but this is a real subtraction.

Love Instapundit, HATE the change here.

Similar to earlier poster, been a Instapundit reader for many many years, my go-to site on phone and PC, excellent in every respect. Simply can’t get by without Glenn’s DJ approach to news.

However…

Pajamas Media had a truly great Army-of-Davids sort of feel, where no one contributor had the spotlight, and where the focus was on the story not who was posting.

Please accept this as a vote for flipping back to the previous version, or at least minimizing the Instapundit real estate.

In the meantime, thanks for all the excellent work on keeping us informed.

There *is* something uncanny about the guy’s output. I sometimes picture a secret lair at the University above the bio labs, where a couple of dozen bespectacled Glenn clones in jeans and sportcoats click madly away, occasionally saying “Heh” or “Indeed”.

But I’ve been dipping directly from the well in that regard. By the time I hit Pajamas, I’ve already read today’s Instapundit, and I’m looking for something different. Now, unfortunately, that’s going to be shoved to the periphery of the page because there’s a huge Instafootprint smack dab in the middle.

Professor Reynolds is indeed the great one…and Pajamas Media continues to get better and better.

(now if only you could do something about those t-shirts….)

Instapundit is diversity. The man is not a man; he’s a nano-cyborg in human form! He features just about every possible topic that interests him under the sun, after all.

Besides, quantity does not immediately imply quality.

Instapundit has been the first site I read in the morning for a number of years. I have some other favorites that I check regularly. And then, I check Pajamas Media to get a link to some alternatives. As a “conglomerate”, it gives me a reason to check out some other sites that I might not otherwise get to.

I was disappointed when the blogroll was abbreviated to ten “Network Bloggers”, and I’m saddened to see the main page so dominated by Instapundit — not because there’s anything wrong with Mr. Reynolds, but because of the erosion of diversity.

Hey change is in the air, just like for Tim Blair now at Sydney’s Daily Telegraph. Good stuff. Shake things up a bit. Not gonna stop reading Glenn. Bouna fortuna with it all.
