Tina Brown Returns to the Web: Train Wreck Ahead!

Tina Brown Returns to the Web: Trainwreck Ahead!
Tina Brown knows absolutely nothing about running Web sites, and her disastrous record with Talk.com should have resulted in her being banned from the Web forever. Unfortunately, it's impossible to do this, and so Brown is reaping tons of press with her plans to launch a new site that's going to blah blah blah. Big deal - she hired away the creative director from nymag.com - if this guy's such a hotshot, why can't Nymag.com beat Gawker.com in the traffic wars? The whole thing is a joke and I'm sure that whatever Brown comes up will be a ghost site within 18 months of its launch.
