A little over a month ago, the magazine Red Herring, which focused on venture investments in technologies and new products, closed (on March 3, 2003 to be exact). While I was never a subscriber to the magazine, I am slightly saddened by its death, only in that it was a remarkable publishing artifact from a time when money and ideas met in strange ways.
There are plenty of magazines out there, however, and I’m certainly not hurting for good daily, weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly publications. I made a list of all the magazines that regularly come into our home. There are a lot of them, but I’ve always adored magazines, which are simultaneously useful and useless, timeless and time-sensitive, shallow and sure. Some are free, most are paid subscriptions. Some are excellent, others are worth a perusal. Some are sublimely produced; others are barely worth the postage. But here they are, like a barrel of herring:
