Will the Internet save Business 2.0?
I have a sick feeling for helping to kill paper publications. On the Internet, I work to bring information to the masses. The hoi polloi get what they want when they want it. Yet, I have a soft spot for great paper publications like Business 2.0. I subscribed for a meager $10 and fell in love with it very quickly. The writing is witty. They follow ideas and companies long before they are ripe. Business 2.0 covers my industry quickly, whereas Fortune covers only what already made money.
Today, I joined a Facebook group to show my support. It has grown to 1500 members in 4 days. I hope it works. Hopeful like Democrats, we may fail knowing we did the right thing.
Unfortunately, all paper publications are feeling the advertising pinch. I prefer at times not to choose my news but to have others choose it for me. I want to sit down and read an article end to end and see another perspective. Business 2.0 gives me the startup point of view. I would miss it.
