Wow, Infoworld is closing its print publication according to this report. I've been reading it for 20 years. I use a Palm because while in the mid-90s I was searching for a small PIM Stewart Alsop wrote in Infoworld about a new toy--the Palm Pilot. But computers have become commodities. Trade magazines based on new products--especially in high tech--have been shrinking. Remember when Infoworld was tabloid sized and thick. For the past few years, it's been a very thin magazine.
Evidently it is going Web-only plus sponsoring events. Food for thought for us in the publishing industry. They were early adopters of RSS feeds, and they put ads in the feed. I stopped subscribing to the feeds, though, because the ads were intrusive. But that may be the wave of the future.
