This is from our sibling blog Fishbowl NY. Noah Davis writes:

Nicole Caldwell, Playgirl's editor-in-chief, just emailed confirmation that the magazine is indeed shuttering its print operation.

"Playgirl is going all-Web. The last print issue will be the Jan/Feb 2009 magazine, which comes out Nov. 18," Caldwell writes.

Details of the site's look are scarce, but it will feature more videos and pictorials and less editorial content. In other words, just like Playboy's site.

Which poses the question: Can porn thrive on the internet?
