Bye Bye Ziff-Davis, according to a post in MarketingShift Ziff-Davis Declares Bankruptcy.
What a SocialRiot that is - one of the top Tech Publishers loses it's edge because it's not Tech Savvy enough - not Social Media enough, not Competitive enough - or just didn't change with the times.
"...The Microsoft of high tech publishing has fallen as far as you can go down: into bankruptcy. In the 90's, Ziff Davis was huge - 300 page issues of PC Magazine, dozens of titles, conferences -- they had it all.
But, then came the dot com crash, and a few years later the web started eroding print revenues as consumers stopped wanted to pay for magazines if they could read the content for free.
ZD couldn't stay ahead of the diggs and TechCrunches and slashdots who blogged faster and wrote smarter about tech. "
Ha, Ha, Ha.....
Like I've said elsewhere, "the bar is raised" and when it's raised, you have to raise your game or get left behind, along with Ziff-Davis's of the world.
Bye Ziff-Davis - I won't be shedding any tears though - you deserved go down the tubes.
