There have been rumours flying this week that Time Inc. is going to be shutting down Business2.0 magazine and the last publication will be the September issue this year. Valleywag is reporting that the magazine has already been shut down – but in another first for Business2.0, it seems Josh Quittner (editor) and several high profile influencers (including Om Malik and Michael Arrington)

Hi ROhit. I just wanted to point out that the group was fan-created. Josh is, of course, now a prominent member of the group as are many of his B2.0 & Time Inc. colleagues.
