Who doesn't know the Matador Community on the net?
How many times we spend hours and hours reading about travel tips, where to go and what to do when travelling abroad?
I am a traveller not a tourist was their motto but not any more. The Matador Community is shutting down.
Bellow is the email that we received from Ross Borden CEO of Matador.
"Dear Matadorian,
First, I'd like to personally thank you for the stoke and energy you have put into our community over the years. We have grown from our (very) humble beginnings in 2006 to become one of the world's largest travel publishers and one of the Web's biggest travel sites, now reaching more than 6 million people per month.
Along the way we have evolved away from a "social network for travelers" and towards a professional publication working with hundreds of talented journalists from around the globe.
We also launched our travel journalism education platform at MatadorU...we were excited to launch 4 new courses last week - and we're offering everyone a $150 discount if they enroll now before Dec 1st. Learn more here.
We're now working on a number of new projects and products that we think you'll love - powerful apps and content that will help you explore the world better and document your travels better too. And in order to launch these new products we need to shut down old ones that are fast becoming outdated, obsolete, and sadly, under siege from SPAM.
So I am writing to you to give you a heads up: on December 5th 2014, we will be closing the old Matador community profiles and shutting down all of the blogs. If you have content on these sections of the site that you want to save, you have until 12/5 to migrate or back it up somewhere else.
Ross Borden
CEO, Matador"
