To think, #BuckyTurco told me not to look at his 30something year-old sister or else he'd "cut your balls off and feed them to you." Psh. #Hypocrisy if I've ever seen it. #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto
I read Wired cover to cover (even the tinsy tiny print) and love it. I never go to the website. My 20 yr. old son reads Wired exclusively on the web. Even though I don't go to the website, I expect there to be a website that's even better than the magazine. After all, this is WIRED! Just knowing that there's a killer website available makes reading the magazine a better experience. It's a huge mistake for Conde Nast to think, for one second, that they could skimp on editors/writers/artists for the website.
We all know how the story of the Titanic ends, right? You hit an iceberg that big, you're going down. And like the captain of the Titanic, the Chiefs of Conde are too drunk on their expense accounts to realize that the ship is not only listing, but sinking quickly. Who gets in the life boats? Does Anna cling to a frozen deck chair watching Graydon slowly fade away? Does Andre Loen Talley survive thanks to all his furs? Does Chris Anderson predict the future and stay in England? Do the Golf guys simply sip cocktails and drive golf balls into the ocean assuming Tiger Woods' ship, Privacy, will get them before they meet their maker? #wired
I love Wired. But why does a tech magazine have like a dozen of those stupid subscription cards that fall out and why is it wrapped in plastic every month? That all seems so backwards. #wired
Remember when Wired (back in the late 90's/early 00's) was 90% uber-nerd articles peppered with artsy pictures of mainframes?Now aside from one or two good articles per issue, it's basically Maxim minus babes plus lame youtube links.That said, I still subscribe. #wired

Worth noting that Wired is a great source of talent. Brian Lam of Gizmodo came from the magazine. We've certainly been tempted by a couple of other editors and writers. So much as I hate to see one of my favorite magazines in trouble, I'm salivating.

Frankly, Conde is not going to change until the next generation of Newhouses takes over; Steve in particular is internet-savvy. But by then it might be too late, and great media brands will be shrunken and irrelevant. #wired
