Well I guess that I’m a little late on this one, but yesterday when I got my issue Business 2.0 in the mail I was surprised to see it was the final issue. Apparently this was announced earlier this month, but I guess I somehow never heard about it.
Time Inc. decided to to close down the magazine due to dwindling advertising revenue for the magazine. This is actually very disappointing to me, as I’ve been a subscriber for the past 3 years and it was really nice to have a magazine that I was genuinely excited to read each month. It was a very unique magazine that was definitely on the cutting edge of reporting in the entrepreneurial/start-up side of the business/tech sector. In fact several articles from the magazine that I read over the last few years have inspired some of the web projects that I’m currently working on. It looks like a good portion of the staff are actually going to work at Fortune, but I think it will be tough to put out anything that compares to the uniqueness of the Business 2.0 brand.
My subscription currently runs through February, but I’m not sure what happens with the rest of that? Anyway now that I’m in search of another good tech business magazine to read, so give me some suggestions or recommendations on what you read.

It’s unfortunate to see this happening. I wasn’t happy when they got rid of Yahoo Magazine… so dies another good magazine.
Yeah it is sad to see it go, I also used to read Yahoo magazine until they decided to get rid of it as well.
I’m hoping that a new one will come along soon to fill the void.
Try Millionaire Blueprints….it is a good entrepreneur/tech magazine…they like to take successful businesses and break down their steps to success. Give it a look.
