RETRO PUBLISHING FROM ZIFF DAVIS
I think Ziff Davis is making a move that will get them into the Guinness Book of Records or something similar! The Ziff people have decided to go retro and take a Web site and turn it into a magazine. The site in question is extremetech. A new magazine by the same name is about to be rolled out by ZD. It will be interesting to watch how this move plays out for Ziff. I have been on record as stating that tech based print magazines are doomed. Let's revisit this operation in about a year to see what happened.
I sure hope that this idea is better for Ziff than the glorious launch of the show to end all shows - Business4Site - now "suspended."
