For a variety of strategic reasons, AOL is consolidating several "niche," topic-specific blogs into some of its most popular blogs with daily readership totals that would make your eyes pop.
BBHub is one of those blogs.
Effective at the end of the day tomorrow, BBHub will cease publication of new entries. But we are not going away. The full, nearly 5,000-post BBHub archive will still be readily available at BBHub.com. Additionally, AOL will certainly will not be slacking off on our coverage of BlackBerry, the exciting new models on the way, the third-party BlackBerry software we know you are interested in, as well as what the company that makes BlackBerry- Research In Motion- is up to.
I'm not going too far either. More details tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, we'll have several posts, catching you up on where things stand and also giving you something to remember us by.
You know, it's been a bit more than two years since I ran into then-Weblogs CEO Jason Calacanis at the Consumer Electronics Show and sounded him out about launching BBHub. Over this time, we've become part of AOL, have broken lots of stories and have become a destination for readers interested in BlackBerry. In the last severalmonths,it hasn't only been me, the original BBHub blogger and still as of now, the lead blogger on BBHub. I am proud to have recruited Melissa Oxendale and Dave Mabe to blog here as well. They've added lots to our site.
I thank all of you readers for your interest, participation, and dare I say,devotion to our BBHub brand.
We'll have more posts today and tomorrow. Can't wait for your clicks then, as well as in the future!
1. I'm sorry to hear this. This is one of my Daily Reads and I have had comments and BB content posted on this site several times. I hope you are still contributing to the BlackBerry community going forward.
