Industry Insights: Mecklermedia

Mecklermedia (NASDAQ: MECK) is quietly becoming a publisher giant. The company publishes general circulation magazines, professional journals, newsletters, professional books and directories and about the internet. It also puts on some of the hottest trade shows like Internet World.

And Mecklermedia runs Internet.com -- one of my favorite sites. It has great technical resources for web developers and has well written and informative Internet industry news. I'll take Internet.com over HotWired any day.

As Mecklermedia expands, look for this little company (180 employees) start to get noticed fast.

NOTE: Another thing I got dinged for was Infoseek. I declared them in last place in a recent Summation Push. Of course, that was before the Disney deal. Now they'll be big. Who's going to be the next big player? My bet is on News Corp.

Review: PoliticsOnline

After last Summation Push's review of Jeb Bush's web site (www.jeb.org) I got bombarded with e-mails with other suggestions. I'm sorry to say that most of the suggestions were pretty bad.

One site, though not a candidate site, stood out: PoliticsOnline (http://politicsonline.com/news/). If you can overcome their exceedingly liberal bent, you might find a treasure chest of information. I encourage you to check it out and, as always, I encourage your feedback.
