After a somewhat significant failure of his Office Pirates launch, the site's founding editor Mark Golin has been re-shuffled within Time Inc. Today, People.com announced that Golin will join the site, earning the highly prestigious title of "editor." He will work right along side Martha Nelson (People Group editor) to "oversee online editorial operations and site development."

Golin has a pretty packed resume, which includes a mix of both magazine and Web experience. And, no, not all of those publications had the same fate as Office Pirates.

But Golin made his real mark in magazines. After a decade at Rodale, he moved to Hearst Magazines' Cosmopolitan as deputy editor. In 1998, he became the editor in chief of Dennis Publishing's Maxim, where he led the U.S. laddie invasion with his sharp wit. He also was editor in chief of Condé Nast's Details.

He joins another former mag EIC, Angela Matusik (the second to occupy now defunct Budget Living's top spot) on the site's masthead. And if we wait just a few more months, maybe someone there will be able to secure Ariel Foxman a job.
