Mathew's comments: The Industry Standard: A metaphor

  • Daniel Gibbons · 1 year ago
    I agree that it's a metaphor, but maybe for the technology and computing segment of the magazine industry rather than the industry as a whole. Any magazine that's focused on time-sensitive information and analysis of the start-up world is going to struggle desperately in the print world. However, my first-hand experience of owning a high-end lifestyle magazine tells me that a healthy market continues to exist for certain kinds of print media.

    I agree, Daniel -- I definitely think there's still a place for
    magazines, don't get me wrong. My thoughts were just meant to apply
    to the tech magazine segment.

    My quick glance leads me to believe that there's going to be a lot of potential for collaboration and user involvement with the new Standard, which appeals to me.
