Eric Sink likes to predict the end of businesses. This entry at his blog predicts the end of software developer magazines. His criteria are sound as are his conclusions. Computer magazine sales are in free fall and software developer magazines are leading the pack. Given the timely information about software development available online compared to in print, it makes sense to kill these titles before they cause all involved to loose too much money. Newsagents could use the space saved to better display titles in growing categories such as crosswords, crafts, women’s weeklies and fashion.
