Although VStoreNews^® ceased regular publication with the Spring 2002 issue, its legacy lives on as an integral part of VSN Strategies. The thought leadership established in the heady early days of content-focused VStoreNews has been extended through strategy-focused services of VSN.

VStoreNews' story mirrors the exuberant rise and abject collapse of the dot-com retailing phenomenon. At first, content was king, then community, then commerce. To these we would add one more 'C' - consulting.

VSN maintains a modest archive of past issues - most downloadable in portable document format (PDF). Other past publications - VSN TopLine emails, and VStat items -- may be browsed as well. Reviewing these materials in the clear light of recent experience may prove to be revealing in unexpected ways.
