BLOG DESIGN CHANGE
I really appreciate the comments that I receive about my various posts. Presently the design of this blog makes it a bit cumbersome for readers to comment. In the next few weeks we will redesign the page so that readers can comment.
In the meantime I have attached two recent comments.
From Henry Allain:
I hope you continue to blog the truth. The COMDEX fiasco is such a joke that I am shocked, like you, that the only thing we are hearing about this is the propaganda that MediaLive continues to put out there for public consumption. Killing an event (or magazine, or website, or practically any product for that matter) and then bringing it back is next to impossible... Look what happened when they attempted to bring BYTE back in print -- utter failure. I for one am thrilled to see COMDEX go down in flames. It will wake people up to realize that smaller, more targeted events are where they need to spend their time. Keep up the good work!
From Jay Srinivasan:
I met you once briefly, when I was speaking at Internet World in New York.
Having participated it several Internal World conferences as a speaker, I must say that your trade shows were very unique and it nicely blended with the conference theme (Thanks to Jack Powers' vision and ideas). Internet Commerce Expo (ICE) folks from IDG tried their best to copy your model and failed miserably. Even Penton Media could not repeat your success.
As Kenny Rogers said " You knew when to hold them, when to fold them, when to walk away and when to run"
Thanks for the memories of Internet World.
