Forbes Fumbles

We’re two months short of 2006, The Medium is the Message and old media has dropped the ball.

When Forbes Magazine attacks the bloggers, you know their in trouble; note no RSS, no hyperlinks, no conversation and no one paying for a subscription.

I attended SatCon this week and learned that ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX still think that IT is about office communication. Google, Yahoo and MSN are run by IT , after years of talking about convergence you would have thought the major networks would have gotten the message.

Forbes was a sponsor of SatCom, their thick glossy magazine was there for the taking, but few were taken. I have attended Forbes conferences and listened to the same message, IT is about corporate communications, well guess what? We're all communicating now, Roll over Beethoven tell Tschaikowsky the News.....Roll over Beethoven and dig these Rhythm and Blues…
