ScienceBlogs/SEED Media Does the Right Thing and Removes PepsiCo Blog (UPDATED)

(From various sources, including PZ Myers.)

That didn't take long, and only involved what? Half a dozen or so long-time SB bloggers quitting in disgust and taking steps to move elsewhere?

Some of those folks may come back, some won't.  It probably doesn't matter, really.  Blogs move around on the internet with great regularity, and people with interesting things to say at SEED will still be people with interesting things to say somewhere else, whether it be under a different collective or at an independent location.  (As an aside, I realize that SEED pays their bloggers.  I have no idea what the particulars of those arrangements might be, but it's reasonable to say that writers that leave would be losing some income.)

Now to see what happens next...

(UPDATE: Carl Zimmer has an excellent post up at The Loom discussing this.  I've found the comments to be particularly interesting, since a number of the major ScienceBlogs names have shown up and weighed in.)
