From Barron's to Forbes

Eric Savitz, who left Barron’s to cover technology for Forbes as its San Francisco bureau chief, writes about the change.

Savitz writes, “For more than four years, I blogged like a wild man, writing the Tech Trader Daily blog for Barron’s. In the process, I posted close to 20,000 times, which is a little ridiculous, really. I was addicted to all things tech, covering product news, mergers, rumors, earnings reports, analyst recommendations, conferences, and assorted other Valley miscellany about every aspect of tech – hardware, software, Internet, mobility, telecom, media, you name it. And make no mistake: my addiction remains.

“But one big thing has changed:  a few weeks ago, I agreed to take my show to Forbes. As the magazine’s new bureau chief in San Francisco, I’ll help shape our coverage of technology both online and in print. (Suggestions welcome, by the way!) I’ll write stories for the magazine. And (duh!) I’m starting a new blog, which I’m calling Tech Musings. I’ll use this blog to provide news, commentary and analysis on the tech sector from Silicon Valley and beyond. Basically, I’ll continue to do some of the things I did at Tech Trader Daily – tracking the daily developments of the most dynamic part of the global economy. If you never had a chance to see my old blog – or even if you did – you can get some idea on what I have in mind from some of the recent posts on the beta version of Tech Musings, which I’ve been writing for a week or so on the free blogging platform Posterous.

“Stay tuned. I can’t wait to get started. See you Monday.”
