Rob Griffiths over at MacOSXHints.com has sold his site to MacWorld. The move includes Griffiths becoming a full-time editor for MacWorld who will continue to focus on the hints site, magazine columns and some article writing for Mac World. The move is clearly good for Griffiths and it appears from a detailed question and answer document on his site that things will stay pretty much the same for now.

The good news is that Griffiths has a long history with Mac World and ample opportunity to make judgments about how he fits with the culture there. We can hope that the rosy prognostications are accurate and that his site will continue as the high quality site for OS X information it has become.
