We are thrilled to announced Consumers Union has purchased The Consumerist, effective 1/1/09.

What changes?

• The only ads will be for Consumer Reports and Consumers Union-related stuff.
• There will be a new privacy policy and user agreement. We will let you know when they're up and you can check them out.

What doesn't change?

• Our voice, content, or independence.
• The blog stays free and open, no paid-subscription required.
• You keep your same commenter login and name.

We look forward to to serving you for years to come with the info and news you need to stay savvy. Onwards and upwards!
