Search Engine Watch Announces Editor-in-Chief
Rebecca Lieb has been named the Editor-in-Chief of Search Engine Watch.
It’s a very daunting honor to be charged with the future of Search Engine Watch “Danny’s not-so-little baby” as editor-in-chief. It’s a change fraught with emotion and sentiment; for many of you readers, as well as for Elisabeth Osmeloski (who’s remaining with the site) and I. It’s a situation reminiscent of (but in many ways weirder than) taking over the stewardship of ClickZ was six years ago, when that site’s founders moved on.
Presently, Elisabeth and I are relying on the SEW community for feedback, suggestions, ideas and proposals. We’re looking for new contributors. We want to help this great source of news, information, opinion and community grow, and perhaps become even better.
There seems to be a great deal of fear and anxiety over the position she has been given. I would be a bit fearful myself, Danny Sullivan’s shoes aren’t that big, but his footprints are very, very deep!
I like the fact that she is reaching out to the audience of SEW. The SEW has changed dramatically with the exit of Danny, but some additional changes may be necessary before all of the dust settles. The re-invention of Search Engine Watch, and Search Engine Strategies possibly, has begun, the fact that they are looking to see what their customers expect is the first step in retaining them. Just like a website, if a company fails to listen to their customers, then they have failed!
Congratulations, Rebecca, and good luck!
