Boing Boing adds Xeni Jardin to main crew

Christian Crumlish

Many people think of the Boing Boing blog as Cory Doctorow's personal weblog, and even link to or blogroll it that way, but of course it is a team blog, with Apple switcher Mark Frauenfelder and David Pescovitz also on the masthead.

Cory posted on Saturday that Xeni Jardin did "such a fan-freakin-tastic job running the guestblog for the past couple weeks" that she has been invited to join the main team.

Who knew that the guestblog would function as a try-out? (A new guestblogger will start shortly.)
