…..people are staring to officially retire from it. Public retirement announcements are usually focused on athletes, musicians, CEOs, and actors. These announcements are also generally followed up by the “coming out of retirement” press conference (see: Brett Favre….TWICE). The “coming out of retirement” press conference basically chalks up the intent to retire as being nothing but a marketing ploy.
Well today the blogger probably best known for marketing ploys, Jason Calacanis, officially retired from blogging. He claims that it “came with a heavy heart” and “he will not return to blogging” and “he will replace it with a more intimate email list.” Wow, maybe he called Brett before he made this announcement.
So do we think that this is a genuine retirement or is this simply a blogger getting in on the marketing power of retirement? I am writing about it. It is already working. Any thoughts?
