Knee-jerk reaction to SV Moms Group closing down
So if you haven’t seen the press release or read a blog post about it, SV Moms Blog is shutting down their site and their 12 other regional sites. The reason, it’s not a sustainable business model. Translation, they aren’t making money. This reason baffles me.
