Ed Felten goes to Washington

Wow! FTC Names Edward W. Felten as Agency's Chief Technologist. You, of course, know Ed Felten from Freedom To Tinker, announcement here (hat tip: Steve Bogart)

Rafe comments:

This is one of those moves that makes too much sense for me to have ever believed that something like it would ever actually happen. Next thing you know Bruce Schneier will take a job with the Department of Homeland Security.

Almost impossible to believe. Random excellent luck, or is there a hidden technical gorilla movement inside the FTC that has just accomplished its first counterstrike?
