I agree. It’s must reading. But I’ve heard IDG executives declare the same thing since 1998 or so. I was on the board of American Business Media several years ago when we changed its name from American Business Press — for precisely the reason Collin points out. Even then, less than 50% of the revenues of a typical business-to-business media company came from advertising appearing in print.

This is about creating a community. Why the heck not create a venue for people interested in what you're writing about to meet - writers, videographers, podcasters and - gasp - readers. Slate's annual festival is a sort-of example, too. Damned straight, Jeff. This is about creating a community.

That an offline media giant is successfully making the transition to online revenues is great. The online/offline debate has been a key interest of mine for years. I actually wrote on this Saturday, here: <a href="http://www.louisgray.com/live/2007/02/big-debate-online-vs-offline-and-web.html" rel="nofollow">The Big Debate: Online vs. Offline, and Web Influence</a>. Thanks for covering the story. Jeff,
