Sam Whitmore's Tech Media This Week: It's The End of the Line for Line56

Line56 is being "shut down," according to someone close to the operation. The site as of Apr. 13 is still up, though it carries this message:

Dear Readers:

Thank you for visiting. Line56 Media sites (line56.com, portalsmag.com and destinationkm.com) are currently offline for redevelopment. Please continue to utilize our co-branded research library and research center.

General enquiries: info at line56.com

We called a senior Line56 official for comment but he hasn't called back yet. So we're going with what we've got.

Hear about this and more in the latest edition of the SWMS Tech Media This Week podcast (7:47), which is now posted.
