Habemus Watcher!

As I believe I mentioned earlier, the esteemed Watcher, founder of the Watcher's Council, is retiring due to concerns of a personal nature.

Since this surprise announcement several weeks ago, we members of the Watcher's Council have kept ourselves going on an ad hoc basis while discussing our future.

Consensus was achieved rapidly that we would like to find a worthy successor for our leader emeritus -- and that none of us wanted to take the spot ourselves or lose any of the collection of unique voices that make up the Watcher's Council, though we did have one member step forward and offer himself in that capacity if no better candidate could be found.

And then, through a little bit of serendipity, an outside candidate for Watcher was put forward who could not have better fit the criteria upon which the members of the Council had agreed upon in the course of our discussion. After a bit of dialogue, he has agreed to become our new leader.

Cue the white cyber-smoke over the Sistine Cyber-Chapel

Terry Trippany, one of my favorite bloggers, who created, managed and written Webloggin, and who is also a frequent contributor to Newsbusters, will be the new Watcher. Expect him to assume his new duties as Watcher over the next few weeks, and to see changes in the Watcher's Council website once he does. But what we are all confident will be unchanged is the regular offering of great blog posts from within the Council and around the Internet for your consideration.
