This is kind of odd: one of the bloggers for Business 2.0 linked (via del.icio.us) to a Valleywag gossip piece about the "stay of execution" that Business 2.0 got from the honchos at Time Inc.  Apparently Business 2.0 was scheduled to be shuttered after the September issue, but there’s been an 11th our reprieve from the suits in New York.

I subscribe to two magazines, Wired and Business 2.0, so I was a little surprised to learn that one was on the chopping block.  Actually I think I was more disappointed in myself for not knowing this than I was surprised that the magazine might be shut down.  After all the magazine business isn’t much better off than the newspaper business.

Anyway, it had to be kind of weird for a writer at Business 2.0 to link to his own professional Mark Twain-like, "the report of my death is an exaggeration" moment.  I just hope that the magazine lives as long as Twain did after that quote.
