Red Herring Founder Unveils AlwaysOn Network

A 'Superblog' for Business Geeks? The AlwaysOn Network, brainchild of Red Herring founder Tony "bloggers have shown us the value of truly participatory media sites, so we’re just going to bundle it up and polish it and commercialize it" Perkins, is inviting "the smartest chiefs, geeks, investors, boosters and wonks to come play in our spontaneous and uncensored arena"...and, oooooh, alleged celebrity bloggers. Will this be the /. for business geeks or just a case of more web recycling?

Wow. This blog is sure to monetize the quality gap between best-of-breed collaborative, team-dynamic-driven synergisms and the current, outdated legacy systems. It will push the envelope, go the extra mile, think outside the box, touch base, leverage core competencies, and actualize upon the net's untapped intellectual capital.
Or it could just be a piece of shit.

Plastic lost its high profile affiliates and Automatic Media's old office is now a Pilates studio. It's basically a one man show.

Toothless joe and boost ventilator are so prescient of the future for business weblogs! Talked to any IT sales people lately guys? This will change everything because at this blog they think different(ly).

Why can no one syndicate? How hard is it to add a RSS feed?

An RSS feed of something like this removes the all-too-important "branding" of the site, which is something no MBA would do. How do you make money off a heavily branded site by de-branding it?
That doesn't mean they're right, that's just the thought process that's probably occurring.
OT: If it's "always on," why is there an on-off symbol in the logo?

It's a shame this site has got a really crappy long URL though. But.. I hope it works. It sounds like an interesting experiment, but I think they might be too broad.
'Geeks' are a reasonably niche group.. but 'business geeks?' Millions have an interest in business in some way or another.
