Philip Greenspun’s Ars Digita is gone. A while back he took on some investors and they ousted him from the company. Check out this quote from Mass High Tech on the closure.
"[CEO Dan] Keshian was not present when the shutdown and sale were announced to employees."
If you are going to run a profitable company into the ground, at least have the decency to look your employees in the eye and tell them yourself.
On a related note, If you haven’t read Greenspun’s book on database-backed sites, I suggest you do so. While the technologies that are discussed in the book may not be for everyone, the ideas and knowledge you will gain by reading it are invaluable.
