RIP Biz 2.0


Well it's official. I knew it was coming and like the other 2,400 supporters in the Facebook group hoped against hope that our support would keep it going. But...alas....it did not. Business 2.0 will fold after the October edition according to the New York Times. Another victim of the hard cold reality of print advertising supported magazines. Unfortunately this one is really sad because it was a great magazine that did a good job of reporting the technological innovation and the business case for technology.
According to the NYT the main editorial staff that hasn't been laid off already will go over to Fortune to work on their "technology" coverage.

Um...not the place I would go for that. So now I'll have to find another magazine because, believe it or not I actually like to look at a magazine now and then (smile), but Wired and FastCompany were never quite as good as Biz 2.0. Hrumph...what's a tech gal to do when her favorite magazine folds?
