Interestingly, it's not taking place on Facebook or an individual/publisher's blog. (At least, not this time.) But let's leave the ramifications of that observation for another time. Yvette makes an key point about "other" business models. I've been thinking along the same lines. It's pretty much a free-for-all at this point, where perhaps the greatest risk is thinking inside-the-box. Look for new business models as the year unfolds, not only from me (and Ed) but from others who are anxious to cross beyond traditional boundries.

If a blogger is being paid by Mentor or Synopsys, where is the support for editorial objectivity? I guarantee that if a paid blogger starts talking about how xxyyzz company is falling short for an extended period of time that at some point that company will ultimately vote differently, in terms of support. Then where is that individual blogger in terms of his bread and butter? That is why Chip Design has been successful, so far. The editorial staff remain independent from sales, although there is definitely a symbiotic relationship.
