Reuters says 300 of the 750 About.com guides will lose their contracts.

http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/010927/n27297037_2.html

About.com also wants all of the remaining sites to include e-commerce within
a year, and wants guides to offer opinions and recommendations.

I have found several sites on About.com to be quite valuable, professionally
and personally (TW, DTP, graphics, other tech stuff, Urban Legends). I
wonder which sites they'll be dropping -- I didn't find a list anywhere. Of
course, given that they're cutting nearly half of their content, I doubt
I'll be visiting the site much anymore.

BTW, Gary says he's working on a new location for his About.com info. More
details can be found in the discussion section of his site:
