Laurel Touby:From Desperate To Digits


How a former desperate freelancer became a networking millionaire.


The media in-crowd [READ:HATERS] always had a hard time taking freelance writer turned networking entrepreneur Laurel Touby all that seriously, which is why there was so much surprise over the news last week that she’d sold her MediaBistro.com (such a goofy name!) to Jupitermedia for $23 million. The animus in the blogosphere was aimed squarely at Touby (Her?! The party gal with the feather boa?!), but you could tell it really all boiled down to self-loathing. As in, What the hell is wrong with me? Why haven’t I figured out how to sell out like that?

As one of the millions of Media Bistro members, I must say she deserves her check! It's a genius website filled with great information! Kudos to Laurel.

Now back to me, look out for my new website called, monkeytimes.com! I'm about to go get some!
