Red Herring calls it a day after ten years….
If you haven’t already heard, Red Herring has closed it’s doors. Although the magazine has certainly been in trouble since the downturn, I’m surprised and saddened that it hasn’t survived shake-out.
There’s a lot of smug comments all over the Internet about the closure, but I don’t share their pleasure. Sure the Red Herring started to resemble the Yellow Pages during the dot-com riot, but the Herring pre-dated the boom and had a market outside the dot-com brigade – at least it used to.
With Upside having already shuttled off this mortal coil, the number of magazines covering the pulse and future of the technology business is dwindling.
Sad.
