Change no more?

Hard to believe that there will no longer be a Tools of Change conference. Although I never attended any one of the seven, because I am not really a technologist and am definitely a cheapscate, I had great respect for people who did. And I avidly read everything that I could understand that came out of the Change practice area, as Brian O'Leary described it in Magellan Media. O'Leary is very critical of Tim O'Reilly's decision, but you have to take O'Reilly at his word -- that it may be more important, more satisfying to create tools of change for publishers rather than host the discussion and dissemination of tools of change for publishers. I wish Tim Oreilly continued leadership.
