Infoworld to Cease Publishing

Noted Co-Author Robert Scoble is reporting that Infoworld, the venerable tech trade publication has announced it will cease to publish. This weekly San Francisco-based IDG publication has been around as long as I can remember and for many years, was a must-read for the entire IT industry every Monday morning.

This was during an era when "every Monday morning" was fast enough.  In recent years the publication tried to establish an online presence, including blogs, but it never quite caught on. The death of this publication does not surprise me, but it also does not make me particularly happy.

Everyone that thinks Print media is dead also said that Amazon will be the death of Wal Mart in 1999.

Wal mart did poorly but not because of Amazon. MSM will still do poorly but not because of bloggers and UGC or Citizen Journalism. They will die because they have stopped providing value to their readership.

I, for one, will miss InfoWorld.

You can't swat a pesky fly with a www.

But then, I miss Scientific American since it died.
