Two months ago we were hanging out with Liz Gannes at the Under the Radar party and joked that she should become GigaLiz (Om had just left Business 2.0 to start his own venture GigaOm). Just got the email yesterday that Liz took our joke to heart and decided to leave Red Herring and join GigaOm. Wow! We were only joking!!! But, WOW, what a great idea. We are excited for Liz and expect even greater things from GigaOm now. [via myself]

Katie introduced me to Liz, and after just a few conversations, it was pretty obvious that she was such a great fit for us at GigaOM. Now what she will be doing? I am going to let her talk about it, when she starts next week. By the way, Nick, GigaGannes is much better than GigaLiz. [...]
