Matt McCallister, who recently left IDG for Yahoo, wrote a very thoughtful post on why he couldn’t get The Standard, the company I founded and IDG still owns, relaunched while at IDG. Very true words, especially these:
I wish somebody would launch a media brand that covered the Internet business for people in the Internet business. I’ve bet my career on this industry, and it would be really nice if there was a brand that stood independently in the middle of it, reported on it with intelligence and depth and integrity, and helped facilitate dialog amongst us all.
