Saying goodbye to WindowsSecrets.com

I got a call from the Managing Editor of WindowsSecrets.com last night, letting me know that he had decided to discontinue my column effective immediately. He plans to have one of the other editors combine the same kind of content into their columns.  My last column was published on Aug, 16th 2007

I can't say that I am surprised but it couldn't have happened at a better time.  That small column was beginning to demand more time that it was supposed to when I first signed up for it, and with the book deadlines coming up, it would have been impossible to keep up.

Working for that newsletter was a great opportunity for me, and I enjoyed working with the other editors as they were real professionals and very passionate about what they do.

I wish them all the best in the future.

Good for you.  I can't say I'm sad, really, because I never even read one of your articles due to the cost.  And, I suspect, since they are planning on combining topics to a single individual, that a lot of others feel the same way.  Its a nice idea to charge for content, but the world just does not work that way.  Once they figure it out, they'll be better off.

I was a paid subscriber to Fred Langa's LangaList, and and quit paying (and quit reading) when it went to WindowsSecrets.  The LangaList content had some value to IT pros.  The current content seems geared to the ordinary reader.  You can do better -- and best wishes in your next endeavor.
