    I knew this was coming... Don't take much to run a blog... Still I for one would never wish for a fellow brother/sister to lose their job... May they land on their feet soon...

    Also big ups to BlackWeb 2.0 for keeping us up to date...

    Wow! It IS easy to update a blog. No wonder they simplified.

    That's horrible for that digital team and other editors.

    Wow. Well now I get why they switched to blog format. Wow, a team works hard to launch a redesign and then days later you lay them all off? I'd feel used.

    This seems to be a trend and WILL be a trend for many publications that made lots of offline cash flow based on subscriptions.

    Honestly, in the last year, my family MAY have bought 5 magazines. The content is way to easy to get online.

    Good luck Essence and other magazines. Hope you are able to weather the tide...

    It's called business and management. In today's world, that is the reality. I think I people need to be aware of when you are working on projects, if you are working yourself out of a job! It happens everyday.
