Valleywag
Former Fortune executive editor Josh Quittner, best known there for covering the Scrabulous beat, has returned to Time.com, where he worked a decade ago, with a much-hyped exposé; Time's publicity department emailed us to make sure we saw it. The revelatory piece shows off the depth of Quittner's Valley rolodex and the extent of his Web-industry connections: the identity of the pair behind "You Suck at Photoshop." The story also reveals the path Troy Hitch and Matt Bledsoe, two advertising-agency refugees, took to greatness: Their website appeared on Digg and Boing Boing. Displaying Quittner's Web skills, the article also contains hyperlinks. (Photo by Matt Gilson/Time)
