InfoWorld in trouble?

InfoWorld may be in trouble. According to Folio Magazine, "The top editor of IDG’s InfoWorld, Steve Fox, resigned yesterday, becoming the latest in a string of high-profile InfoWorld departures in recent weeks including CEO Bob Ostrow and vice president of online sales Kate Hobbie last month."

Say it ain't so! I love infoWorld. It's one of my favorite tech magazines and I love reading the insightful columns. You can quote me on that InfoWorld if my endorsement will help keep you afloat.

I mean they just ceased print operations, went all digital and now this? If they drop digital as well, I may have to organize a geek protest. For once in my life I will carry a picket sign.

Tom, I will join you. I used to spend hours each week reading this publication and the foundation for much of my tech knowledge can be attributed to this fine IDG publication.

I will be sorry to see it go.sad

Of course InfoWorld is having problems. That was a given as soon as they dropped the print magazine. At that point, they became just another techie Web site,a field that includes hundreds of sites. They can't make nearly as much revenue online and they can't support their online presence with a print product. The latter is extremely important. It's called "integrated marketing" and the InfoWorld folks (and those at Network Computing) abandoned this strategy for online only. They ate their own Kool-aid, so to speak, and it was the Jim Jones variety. Network Computing will be the next victim.
