A few stories and blurbs about “what happened” at Culture11 – at which I blogged for the short while it lasted – have shown up this week: at The Corner and Washington Monthly (that piece is quite long) and The American Conservative and Right Wing News.
In the days after its official shut-down, in what became a Long Good-bye on The Confabulum blog, managing editor Joe Carter wrote a detailed personal accounting and lovely farewell titled ”A Beautiful Mess.” The piece was aptly named. What made it messy (and interesting) was a delightful diversity of belief, thought, and style among the editors and writers.
I was fond of the site, and was sad to see it run out of money. There is talk that it may be resurrected. We’ll see.
