  • GigaOM halting operations

    GigaOM halting operations due to lack of funds. Founder Om Malik, who’s not with the company anymore, published a short statement, where this is from:

    There will be time for postmortems, but not today. Today, I want to thank all the people who make (and have helped make) Gigaom. Their role in this journey was what really made it all worth it. They are great people and they will all do great work wherever they go. I want to thank our investors who believed in the business long before it became fashionable. And most importantly, I want to thank you dear readers for coming along on this trip of a lifetime.

    I briefly wrote for GigaOm back in the day. Sad to see it decline, and go. It used to be a force in the tech sphere. These days, not so much perhaps.

  • Om Malik's re-birthday

    Take it from someone who’s been down the rabbit hole, you should read Om Malik’s post about his re-birthday. That is, the day shit happened and he had to revaluate what was important. We all should experience such a day, sans the shit part obviously, but I’m afraid most of us are too thickheaded to really understand without something hitting us hard from behind.

    So there, do yourself a favor for the new year and take a breather, think things through, and get out of the negative maelstrom parts of whatever kind of life you’re living. We all have that, we all need to rethink and redo the parts of our lives that just aren’t working out. Work, relationships, whatever – it is all the same and it adds to what could be a problem.

    Happy re-birthday Om. I know, I know, I’m a bit late but it is the thought that counts, right?
