      Jupitermedia: A Speculative Long
      Interesting overview of where JUPM is today. Seems that they have spent over $350 mill to create a company valued at < $120 mill. Not sure how the investors read that.
      Unless JUPM understand that the majority of their senior management are not from the industry that their content is designed for, they are never going to fulfill their potential (time to change some people at the very top!). I think they bought the various pieces to create a value proposition to sell, but also that Getty and Corbis are just waiting for them to die and pick up the roadkill. You cannot license some of the best rights managed image collections by putting them into subscription packages. That not only reduces their perceived value, but also drives away creative art buyers who want to choose something 'different' from the mainstream. JUPM keep putting themselves into the mainstream hoping to catch as much passing business as possible-it's not working guys!!
