Mountain View, Calif. -- After closing its doors and then being acquired by entrepreneur Alex Vieux in April, technology publication Red Herring was re-launched on Thursday, promising to deliver 90 new online stories each month, and research and events in the future. Former Business 2.0 editor-in-chief James Daly will lead the new editorial team, which will also include former Upside Magazine editor-in-chief Richard Brandt. Corporate sponsors for the publication's re-launch include Network Appliances, British Telecom, Logitech and Symantec; former Yahoo CEO Tim Koogle is among the company's directors. "When the previous owners announced they were closing the publication's doors in March, I felt strongly that losing the Herring would be a blow to the IT community," said Vieux. "We re-evaluated elements of the business that hadn't kept pace with today's economic realities and are now building on the brand's strong foundation to create a network of online content, research and events that offer a broader perspective on the global technology sector."
