Shortly after Conde Nast announced this week’s closures Mediaite obtained a memo to the digital staff from Condé Nast Digital svp Drew Schutte suggesting the clock was ticking with regards to the websites of the shuttered magazines. Does this mean we should just expect more of the same on the Conde Nast Digital front? Meaning: not much.

Perhaps McKinsey should have hired Jon Stewart to do their Condé Nast evaluating! On the Daily Show last night Stewart expressed dismay over all the people who’d lost their jobs during this week’s Condé shuttering before proposing an alternate solution to closing the magazines altogether: marry them! It makes for some interesting results.

Today, when the the news hit that Condé Nast would be closing some titles from their bridal and parenting divisions, I feared for the future of pot roast. I’m clearly not the target demographic for Cookie magazine. But my wife has been a subscriber for most of its four years in existence, and I’ve come to appreciate it as the one “parenting” (read: “mommy”) magazine that I read regularly. And now it’s gone.
