It officially marks a year since our valiant efforts to save Business 2.0, a magazine that many people dearly loved and turned to for its informative look at all aspects of the new economy. Taking a moment to honor all of the editors and writers that made Business 2.0 what it was, we did some research to find out where they ended up after the magazine was closed.

Update 2: I was told I missed many people who were key contributors to the success of the magazine. I apologize to anyone who felt slighted in any way by this post. That was obviously not the intention and was done in good faith. Feel free to add your names in the comments below and I’ll them to the list.
Seb –
I really appreciate your efforts for saving this magazine.
Someone should take up publishing the 101 Dumbest Moments in Business.
I don’t subscribe to Fortune, but love WIRED and Fast Company.
Another loss (several years earlier) was The Industry Standard. That was a pretty remarkable rag.
Great seeing you in Atlanta at the Kelsey Group’s DMS’08. You rocked on the “future of YP session”

Was sad to see it go. I was actually trying to explain the magazine to someone this afternoon. I think so many people that would have enjoyed reading the mag never even knew it existed…it’s one of the many demos that are hard to target with traditional media.

Thanks for posting this. I loved that publication and am glad to see that everyone went on to great things!
