A friend of mine at San Jose State had his program tweeted by (wait for
it…) Bill Gates!
Great idea:
@SJSU offering “battery
university” for this fast growing & critical industry.
Sic transit gloria mundi. Daniel Dern reports on the successor to my
old employer, CMP.
Layoffs Begin at UBM's
Tech Group – B2B @ FolioMag.com
In late March FOLIO: reported that the print editions of
InformationWeek
and CRN, housed in UBM's Tech Group, were to be shut down as part of
the
company's ongoing efforts to shift its strategic focus on events and
digital. The layoffs predicted in that story have begun today, say
several
sources…
Update: According a release, UBM Tech will stop producing print publications as of July 1, 2013. InformationWeek will continue online.
Test and Measurment World and Advanced Trading will be shut down and
the
group will also close four smaller events.
One of my friends was laid off a few months short of his 20th
anniversary with CMP/UBM. So now we know how long it takes to drive a
billion-dollar company into the ground: 14 years.
