I think Gigaom had a harder time competing in an ever-increasing market against sites like HN end even Quora where the comments (especially here in HN) I often find insightful. I wonder if Om had returned to the helm, cut staff/costs, and made Gigaom much more about his own preoccupations and interests, that would have worked better. I liked the 'world of Om' a lot and I think this has potential for attracting an audience. Maybe all it needs is 2-3 staff members if that. Kind of a Gruber/Stratechery/Quora/HN/Reddit hybrid.
