Me, either. I think we're on the brink of -or maybe IN- another internet bubble. I see  'tech bubble' mentioned in financials fairly frequently now.  Big VC-funded publishing ventures, in particular, still have to face daunting monetization issues. They might avoid some distribution costs but payroll is still a killer.

Gigom has been slow loading for me for a long time, I kept wondering why they didn't upgrade servers, now we know.

Pity, I always included them in my tech apps news folder, their writing and insight was a cut above the rest.
