Dear Reader,

Hi! I’m Chad Steelgate from Haberdasher Communications and I’m really excited to announce that our team has purchased The Consumerist from Gawker Media Network. You may notice a few changes around here, just some minor tweaks, I assure you. Irregardless, it’s the same blog you know and love. For starters, one small alteration, the blog will now be called The Conglomerist.

Sincerely,

Chad Steelgate
