Forbes Gets Classier

August 10, 2010

Short honk: Point your browser thing at “I Guess Forbes Figured Out a Way to Fight Back.” A business publication that once gave McGraw Hill fits has found a way to cope with the Web, according to Rexblog. The key passage for me was:

I noticed the cluttered design, page-view-inflating gimmicks and numerous other user-hating approaches of Forbes.com seem to be undergoing a transformation into something that might work when their competitors throw up pay walls.

Nah, won’t work. Too late. I did enjoy watching Steve’s dad Malcolm wheel his Harley into an uptown joint and hang with the dentists, accountants, and bankers who wanted to be “bad” in a Fifth Avenue manner.
