Office Pirate Sinks to the Bottom of the Web's Sea

I wrote about a new Time Inc website before it debuted. It has now died. It was called "Office Pirate" and now that I've read in the NY Post that it is gone, I finally got a chance to check it out. And you know it is (was) pretty funny.

The site is like Maxim magazine, for office cubical dwellers looking for fun stuff to waste time with. There was a video of an office worker's fantasy of all the women in the office wearing no shirts, only bras, and a rant about how much of a pain it is that colleagues so often have meetings in hallways not in conference rooms. Ok, well maybe there isn't that much here, but in the short little space of time I spent there, I got a few chuckles.

On the site today, it said sadly, "this is our last day on line." Like an obituary written while the patient was still breathing. I'd suggest that instead of sinking this ship, Time just sells it to one of the editors. If I worked there, I'd keep this effort going, some day it will make a lot of money.
