[Hope all the Newsbytes reporters on Politech have remembered to
switch their subscriptions to wpni.com! Newsbytes.com is now
offline. (So much for the many links pointing to the site.) :(

   Washington Post Co. to Shutter Newsbytes
   By Thor Olavsrud
   The Washington Post Co. will shut down its Newsbytes online IT news
   service on May 31, a source close to the company told InternetNews.com
   Thursday.
   
   While the company would neither confirm nor deny the shutdown,
   Washtech/Newsbytes Publisher Valerie Voci told InternetNews.com: "We
   currently publish two technology Web sites for the Washington Post Co.
   and we are consolidating our online tech coverage."
   
   "I think the Washington Post is making a mistake," the source said.
   
   Another source inside the company said the Washington Post Co. will
   announce a number of changes to its online tech news coverage in the
   near future.
