Business Week Discovers B2B

from the for-all-those-who've-been-sleeping-for-the-past-year dept

Business Week is definitely a great magazine, but sometimes I wonder about what they publish. Every once in a while they publish an article that seems like a "duh!" article. One that everyone else has been talking about for months, and if you didn't know about it already then you've obviously been off in the wilderness somewhere. Now, they've done that with the idea of B2B Internet companies. It might make sense if they took a new perspective on it, but they don't. They talk about it as if it's just been discovered.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    B2B

    Business Week is business news for the masses. It serves and important function as it keeps the general business public aware and educates them so they will understand what is coming down the pipe after it has already started down the pipe. Geoffrey A. Moore, author of "Inside the Tornado" and "Crossing the Chasm" would say its for pragmatists. It helps create the tornado.

    People who read business week create demand. Look at how the magazine has influenced MBA education. Some of them have money, and a lot of it. This article will help create demand for B2B stocks, for a lot of these people with money will think they are getting into something new, at the early stages. This is good.

      Re: B2B

      I love the hype surrounding the internet and B2B, it gets normally conservative individuals (in the masses) to embrace risk taking due to it seeming a sure fire way to success. Of course the only problem is if this tornado ends, whom is th house going to fall on!
