Did you actually ever like it, or just the idea of it?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> On the other hand, if the concept worked as they hoped maybe we'd have been spared all those 2.0 "social media" tards.

Yeah, I sorta loved it. It certainly had its faults -- the feature writing lagged, it fell too far to the left of the media/technology divide, etc -- but I would love a magazine like that to exist today. What's even close to it? <em>Fast Company</em> certainly isn't there... <em>Wired</em> is great, but it still has the west coast utopian idealism that needs some east coast cynicism to balance it out.

i thought it was really good, but when they went to a subscription model, it was useless. i remember being pissed because alex pappademas was writing <a href="http://archive.salon.com/ent/music/review/2000/04/25/ghostdog/index.html">some really amazing stuff</a> for other sites around that time, and then he vanished behind inside.com paywall.
