Should we add Jeff Elder and Sarah Aarthun to the list of soon to be former Uptown paper of record employees? Elder, whose “social media” beat and column has been up all of three and half months after his year-long sabbatical in Silicon Valley, Tweets that he is taking the latest MNI buyout and is going to become a “social media entrepreneur.” Sincere good luck with that, Jeff, especially if you are counting on any of your Uptown banker buds for seed capital.

Have not seen anything official from Aarthun, but the rumor is she is heading to Hotlanta to work for CNN. If so, does this mean that the Paid to Party gig will revert back to Tonya Jameson?

Update: Tweets to a go-go to confirm that Aarthun is going to be a news desk editor for CNN Wires. Also add Rachel Sutherland of the If the Show Fits blog to the list.
