Joshua Quittner is an American journalist. Until September 2007, he was editor of Time Inc.'s Business 2.0, which he joined in April 2002 after seven years at Time Magazine, where he served as technology editor and the editor of its spinoff technology supplement Time Digital (later called ON Magazine). He is now an executive editor at Fortune Magazine, working out of its San Francisco bureau.

While a newspaper reporter at Newsday in the early 1990s, Quittner freelanced for Wired Magazine and was the original domain-name holder of mcdonalds.com, which he registered for an early Wired piece on domain-name squatting.

He was also twice editor of Time.com. He joined Time in 1995 as a staff writer covering the Internet but subsequently went to work for Pathfinder, Time Inc.'s first independent online presence, where he launched the Netly News, one of the Net's first daily news feeds. He briefly revived "Netly News" as the name of a Business 2.0 blog.

He is the co-author with wife Michelle Slatalla of five books, including the non-fiction Masters of Deception: The Gang That Ruled Cyberspace (Harper-Collins, 1995).

He currently lives in Mill Valley, CA with his wife and three children--Zoe, Ella, and Clementine.
