WebNewser parent mediabistro.com doubled its pleasure when it comes to covering Twitter, announcing its acquisition of Twitter analysis and commentary blog Twittercism.com from Shea Bennett, who will remain on board. Twittercism.com joins AllTwitter, which mediabistro.com launched in November.

Alan M. Meckler, chairman and CEO of mediabistro.com parent WebMediaBrands, said:

Shea Bennett has been covering Twitter for more than two years on Twittercism.com, and we will now combine his well-known analysis and commentary with our blog AllTwitter to create what we believe to be the most complete coverage of the evolution of Twitter and its rapidly expanding social-media business model. We are excited to continue building on our leadership in covering the huge growth of social media through our various social-media blogs including All Facebook, SocialTimes, and AllTwitter, as well as our SocialTimesPro research service and social-media events.

WebMediaBrands, the parent company of mediabistro.com, has acquired the blog 10000Words.net from Mark S. Luckie. Luckie is the national Innovations Editor for The Washington Post. The terms of the purchase were not disclosed.

“10,000 Words is a perfect fit for the Mediabistro blog network, which attracts over 3 million unique visitors monthly,” said WebMediaBrands Chairman and CEO Alan Meckler in a statement. “Mark Luckie will continue to contribute to 10,000 Words and will help us develop other bloggers to write for 10,000 Words as we rapidly expand coverage.”
