Wired magazine grows fat as tech boom comes again

The causal relationship is obviously tech growth means more cash for advertising which means more editorial page.

Nice piece of work from Richard Giles, ThePodcastNetwork

I received this months Wired yesterday. I sat down for a few moments to have a flick through, and noticed two things. Firstly, it has a nice swish glossy cover, and secondly, it’s fat–just like the dot.com days.

That got me thinking. I wondered how Wired’s page count might reflect the technology industry. So I plotted page count against the Nasdaq, and received this surprising result.

But can he use the same technique to pick the peak? Is Wired a leading or lagging indicator? Now that would make the graph very sweet indeed.
