Business4Site today announced that it will not be held this November in New York City. This horribly named and conceived show is using the same gimmick as Comdex in declaring its death -- the show is officially being called "suspended." TechX from CMP will be the next one to fall (Or is that "be suspended?").

In the meantime our inaugural Search Engine Strategies show in Sweden signed up Google and a few other companies as exhibitors last week in San Jose and several more came in today.

Again -- it takes focus and the right topic for a trade show to succeed today. Suspension is not going to work for these broken-down old banger-shows.
