Red Herring Magazine Shuts Down

Makarand writes "Red Herring Magazine is closing its doors and joining the ranks of magazines that rode the dot-com wave and then crashed. Red Herring's March issue delivered to subscribers two weeks ago will be the magazine's final issue. The technology meltdown evaporated the magazine's advertising revenue forcing it to lay off most of its staff and finally close doors."

Scooped on their own closing...

[Anonymous Coward]

Red Herring doesn't even have a story on this major news... Maybe they couldn't afford to pay anyone to update it.

Worse than that, they still have the new subscription page up and links to it on the site.

I can't believe it

[evocate]

What!? I can scarcely believe that subscribers weren't waiting with bated breath for each new issue in this continuing saga of Silicon Valley VC quick-buck artists, their saucer-eyed groupies, and their knuckle-licking lapdogs. I for one read it cover-to-cover each month to glean bleeding-edge investment ideas. Now help me get this refrigerator crate out of the dumpster. The old TV box I'm living in now is getting a little flimsy from the rain.

Good riddance.

You can still subscribe to Red Herring

[rpiquepa]

If you go to the Red Herringwebsite, please notice the prominent "SUBSCRIBE NOW" button on the left navigation bar.
So if you want to spend $34.95 for a dead magazine, you still can.
But hurry up, the website is supposed to close within two weeks.
Too bad!

The technology meltdown evaporated the magazine's advertising revenue I toldya she kinnit handlit, kiptin!

What's the REAL story?

[rjamestaylor]

Shut down, eh? Yeah, right--what's the real story they're trying to hide??

[hint]

March First?!?!?!?

[t0ny]

Is it just a bizarre coincidenct that Red Herring's demise was posted here on March First?

Cue "Twilight Zone" music...
