Goodbye from Salon

I'll never understand this.

31 years in operation and you just ... close completely?

The long tail of 31 years of goodwill is worthless?

Why not turn it into a news aggregator site like yahoo news or something, at least?

OK so they're not shutting down shutting down.... they're just not penning articles any longer?

ask.com closing was more along the lines of what I was talking about then. that bugs me that they don't still have any form of simple search or a news portal or anything.... just, "bye!".

Seems like a waste.

collecting ad revenue is much cheaper than a full time staff
