And while some of the things impacting the industry could easily be projected onto b5, the truth of the matter (in terms of the health of the company) is that we've just closed an additional round of funding (no further details at this time, though it is larger than our first round). Per my multiple posts on ensight.org, the industry is going through a major shift right now, and while some of those will undoubtedly impact b5, we're doing everything we can to continue investing in our bloggers, including keeping pay as fair as possible.
While Caldwell probably doesn't agree, this is great news for the blogging world. Two years ago b5media raised US $2 Million of equity financing through Brightspark Ventures and JLA Ventures, so an second larger round of funding now is most definitely a vote of confidence in the b5 model.
b5media is a Silver Sponsor of this weekend's Blog World Expo in Las Vegas. Be on the look out for official announcements from the show floor. In this case, what happens in Vegas, hits the blogosphere seconds later.
