	TheStreet.com: Leaked Wired Memo Raises Questions
		An internal e-mail message from Wired Ventures Chief Executive Louis Rossetto's--which was quickly posted for the masses on public Internet sites--appeared to offer strong support for the company's forthcoming $293 million stock offering and complained viciously about poor journalism as the main threat to the firm's bid to raise capital.
		Wired publicist Taara Edenhoffman confirmed that Rossetto distributed the e-mail to every single employee at Wired Ventures, but insists that Rossetto did not intend it to be leaked for public consumption.
		According to the prospectus, which we read despite Rossetto's intimation that financial reporters have failed to do so, says the company has yet to turn a profit, despite $1.5 million per issue in ad revenues.

	BERKELEY / Addition to landmark house approved after long struggle
		Responding to an appeal by neighbors, a divided city Landmarks Preservation Commission voted Monday night to designate Marguerite Rossetto's 1,400-square-foot house as a landmark because it is an early modernist design by William Wurster, a former dean of UC Berkeley's architecture school.
		Noting her absences from the property, some neighbors accused her of planning to rent rooms out and suggested that her son is the real owner and he wants to expand the building and sell it for a profit.
		Rossetto is involved in a bitter dispute with his own neighbors over his plan to build a garage, and he says longtime area residents have an inflated sense of their rights.

	The future was so bright - Salon
		It is difficult to present what happened to "Louis and Jane" as a tragedy, notwithstanding the classic injustice of a pair of visionary founders being driven from their creation by cold-hearted financiers.
		Louis Rossetto, especially, springs from the pages as a man who reaped what he sowed, whose hard-headedness brought him both victories and defeat.
		But Louis Rossetto interleaved his visionary pronouncements about the breakdown of old structures with a countervailing scorn for the old-school Net idealists who saw new digital technologies as somehow offering a non-capitalist or non-commercial alternative to more profit-minded ways of doing business.

		Louis is the charismatic, driven founder of Wired.
		Louis and some of his financially-minded co-workers took a greater interest in HotWired.
		I love to debate, and Louis was willing to take up these issues with a long-haired nineteen year old editorial assistant late at night, at parties, at Wired on Sundays.

	Digerati - Chapter 25
		Louis Rossetto is playing games with me. It all started in the spring of 1995 when Louis began to take serious heat from the very Wired community he had created.
		Louis faced the wrath of readers over what was perceived as the sellout of their magazine and culture.
		Louis Rossetto is "The Buccaneer." Me? As Samuel Beckett wrote in The Unnameable, "I'm in words, made of words, other's wordsŠ.

	Who got what in the sale of Wired \| CNET News.com
		The Securities and Exchange Commission filing also disclosed that the deal with Lycos ran into trouble along the way: Last fall Rossetto and Metcalfe questioned whether Lycos was paying enough for their company, and talks temporarily broke off before a deal was completed by year's end.
		Rossetto holds 2.77 million shares of Series A preferred stock in Wired Ventures, while Metcalfe holds 2.68 million shares, according to the filing.
		The sale dismantled the company started by Rossetto and Metcalfe in 1993 as a trailblazing publisher and self-proclaimed citadel of the "digital revolution." Publishing and technology circles were rife with rumors about tumultuous battles behind the company's failure to go public, a long-time goal of its founders.

		Wolf follows Wired's founders, Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalf, from their beginnings publishing European trade magazines to launching a wildly successful, influential magazine.
		Rossetto was driven by ideology, commitment, and rank stubbornness, which ultimately earned them $30 million when the whole enterprise was sold in 1999 for $390 million.
		Rossetto's risk-taking odyssey with Wired is just one of many tales about the highs and lows experienced by players in the Internet bubble of the late 1990s.

	Amazon.com: Wired - A Romance: Books: Gary Wolf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The founder of Wired, Louis Rossetto, is strong-willed man and in the early 1990's has a definite view on how the world will change with the upcoming wired revolution.
		Rossetto's vision and character are essential for the magazine's quick success, but later these same traits almost cost the magazine's investors dearly.
		Louis' passion for Jane is likely to have been great too since they are still together today living in France with children and $30 million (small change for a position thought to be worth hundreds of millions two years earlier) from the buyout of Wired by current publisher, Conde Nast, in 1998.

	SALON Daily Clicks: Media Circus
		Rossetto cited a variety of statistics to counter the negative press — including a claim that Hotwired's "page views" are up to 18 million a month, that Wired's ad pages are up and that the future is bright: "The takeway is that media envy and ignorance are rampant (no surprise).
		But if you're Louis Rossetto, digital-capitalist guru, it's a little hard to stand up and claim ignorance of the realities of online information flow.
		The public release of Rossetto's broadside occasioned a flurry of outrage from Wired's emissaries on the Well.

	BERKELEY / Berkeley hills neighbors feud over addition to cottage
		Marguerite Rossetto, who also wants space for live-in care when she needs it, has sent the council a picture of herself showing a bruise that she suffered in a fall at a party in June, according to her son.
		He angrily accused opponents of trying to use the city's often- controversial landmarks process to be obstructionist, as evidenced by the fact that the landmark issue did not arise until after their other objections were rejected.
		But architect John Holey, who works for Rossetto's mother, said Louis Rossetto was not responsible because the home belongs to his mother.

	Wired News: Wired: Mixing Romance and Tech
		Wolf succeeds in generating a certain interest around Rossetto, who is cast as a libertarian techno-visionary with a stubborn streak that would make a mule envious.
		"Louis, at first derided among his professional acquaintances as an oddball, then stigmatized by various onetime helpers and hangers-on as ungrateful, was, with his growing celebrity, reviled among a much larger circle as an arrogant extremist whose radical politics and extravagant claims were simply publicity stunts for a growing business," Wolf writes.
		Rossetto makes his entrance as the ex-editor of a failed magazine on electronic publishing and a global wanderer with a knack for finding himself in the most conflicted and chaotic locales.

		He noted that Rossetto chose the publisher's role over the CEO position because he felt more "comfortable" in that area.
		The change in the CEO role comes at a time that the privately held company claims to have increased its revenues by 36 percent in the first half of this year over 1996 levels.

	News- System Crashing
		Louis Rossetto, who founded Wired in 1993 with Jane Metcalfe, frequently waxes philosophical about the profundity of the era his cutting-edge magazine simultaneously chronicles and promotes.
		Rossetto, Metcalfe, and crew not only managed to make these grand pronouncements with straight faces; they delivered, turning Wired into what is arguably the hottest magazine in the country.
		Rossetto and Metcalfe can't discuss the initial public offering (IPO) because Wired Ventures is in SEC registration, but they clearly hope to benefit from the new class of investors ravenous for all things Internet.

		When Balzer invited Rossetto up on the stage, the applause wasn't exactly boisterous, but the enthusiasm inherent in anticipation was certainly there.

		Nor are all the other suits that swarm in around Louis and Jane in the third act, pecking and nibbling their company away.

		Rossetto and Metcalfe had rehearsed throughout the late eighties in Amsterdam with a magazine called Language Technology, featuring an "Electric Word" section and articles on hypertext, interactive screenplays and "the on-line phenomenon." Desktop publishing was said to be transforming the office, while Minitel was channeling the French libido through the wires.
		But Rossetto's ponytail and sneakers veneer belied his readiness to red pencil the content of the magazine until it reflected his own unique view of the world and its future.
		Louis Rossetto's last hurrah, the January 1998 "Change is Good" issue, was for the most part a parade of elderly faces yapping the same old techno-utopian yap.

		When I had first called Wired's co-founder, Louis Rossetto, in the summer of 1993, I got through to him immediately, and he had, if anything, too much time to speculate about the shape of things to come.
		What I wanted from Louis Rossetto was his opinion on whether the rise of the computer culture that his magazine covered would end with the elimination by CD-ROMS and networked computer databases of the hardcover, the paperback, and the world of libraries and literate culture that had grown up alongside them.
		Rossetto had been delineating his vision for twenty minutes, but suddenly it was time to go.

		Over the past seven years, neighbors say, the married magazine magnates have tormented them with a series of noisy and disruptive additions to their home, which is located in a quiet and extremely narrow and windy cul de sac in the tony Berkeley Hills.
		Since 1997, Rossetto and Metcalfe have incrementally tripled the size of their house to more than four thousand square feet.
		The prof says Rossetto and Metcalfe -- who reportedly pocketed $30 million when they sold Wired to Condé Nast in 1998 -- don't have to deal with such annoyances because they stay at their house in Europe when the Berkeley house is being worked on.

	John Plunkett, Louis Rossetto, Mind Grenades review
		Then I read about John Plunkett's and Louis Rossetto's Mind Grenades, a spin-off of HotWired's quote of the week, and decided I'd better take a look at it.
		A mind grenade, for those not in the know, is what Plunkett and Rossetto, designer and editorial director, respectively, of HotWired, call their graphic statement, that picutre that introduces their issues.
		Rossetto describes these spreads as preparing their readers for the "visual and intellecutal assault to come." Somewhere along the line, these men of cool have equated assault with something a reader should enjoy, coupled weapons with art, and assumed they're the smartest people on the planet to boot.

		His name was Louis Rossetto, and his platform was Wired.
		Because he was so coherent, and because when he had made his point he fell silent and waited calmly for a response, Louis had a peculiar way of compelling his acquaintances to express agreement with things that they were not really sure of.
		John Plunkett was unnerved the first time he got a glimpse of Louis through the window of an elegant office building on the Quai d’Anjou, in Paris.

		Louis later convenes a magazine, drawing in Jonathan Steuer, Howard Rheingold, and Julie Petersen, who in turn draws in the boy from underground.
		In line 276, Louis calls to the boy, "Come hither, into my office" - hither being an old word, and office being a modern space; the two sharing the same line is striking.
		Also more modern than ancient is the intertextuality: quotes from a 1993 Louis Rossetto speech on the early days at Electric Word are used, breaking the meter, and the line "bitter words will work in a hot-tempered / brain;" ("the wyrd of wired": lines 273-4) is lifted seamlessly from Beowulf, lines 2057-8.
