mediabistro.com sold for $23 million

Congratulations Laurel Touby! She just sold Mediabistro.com, her online networking site for media professionals & freelancers, to JupiterMedia for $23 million....

Touby launched Mediabistro in 1999, after hosting a number of successful f2f netwoking parties in NYC...

Laurel knows networking for sure! I spoke with her two years ago when I interviewed her for an article on blogging for the Smith Alumni mag. The interview I did didn't make it to the mag (another alum's interview did) but it was great to have had the opportunity to speak with Laurel. A savvy Connector for sure!
