Jim, I know these boards ain't "journalism" ... but I'm a little surprised you would send an email to all the members here indulging in such rumor mongering. A question mark doesn't make it any less sensational, nor does deleting the post after a special notice was emailed to everyone.

What "indications" are those? Your buddies speculating after a few beers? C'mon Jim...you're better than that!
Say what you want about Ryan, but he has been in business for many years. He's leveraged several strategic alliances (most notably Mobile Beat) to further his internet enterprise. Has he had some problems over the years? Certainly. But he has built a critical mass of participating DJ's on his chat board and been the springboard for other enterprises as well.
Would Ryan Burger buying Mobile Beat be the worst thing that could happen? I don't think so. He is intimately familiar with the business and well-known in the community. Would you rather have someone like VNU Business Media come in and publish MB along side their stable of IT and Business Mags as just another niche market?
Not me.
Hope to connect with others here in Vegas this week!
