Tomorrow will be a big day for this blog. After two happy years hosted by the good folks at Dancing Mammoth, I’ve accepted an offer to join the growing Forbes family of bloggers.
More details about the blog’s new incarnation will be available after the switch. For now, I just wanted to let you know what you need to do to follow me to the new location: nothing. With any luck, your RSS reader will automatically switch to the new Forbes RSS feed on Wednesday afternoon.
If, come Thursday morning, you still aren’t seeing new Forbes posts, that means you’re using a primitive RSS reader that doesn’t know how to handle redirects (or we screwed up somehow). In that case, visit the home page on Thursday morning for instructions on manually subscribing to the new blog.
Thanks for reading, and hope to see you on the other side.
Dear Lord, please make them get a new comment system and layout!
But otherwise congrats and good luck!
I’m with Robert Porter. I have serious concerns about Forbes’ commenting system.
The registration requirement is annoying, but understandable. What’s much more annoying is that Forbes takes forever to send the e-mails to confirm user accounts. Same goes for getting a reset e-mail if you forget your password. It’s a major turn-off towards any desire to make comments on posts over there.
So is this going to be the new model for old media? Get rid of most permanent staff, exploit the value of the brand to bring together independent experts/writers/bloggers. Makes a lot of sense to me, actually.
