The plans to split up Inq7.net into a portal for Inquirer.net and GMANews.tv has been finally revealed.
I first reported about the possible break-up last October when an insider unintentionally confirmed a tip I got from another source. Of course, management repeatedly denied about it until a recent article in Inq7.net published to weeks ago hinted of a new deal between Inquirer.net and GMA 7 thru its own portal GMANews.tv.
A week before that, I’ve been noticing domain transitions from Inq7.net to Inquirer.net.
My hunch was proven correct as revealed in the new setup of the Inq7 portal. The red portion shows links to the GMANews.tv top stories while the one inside the green box re-directs to the Inquirer.net website.
The sectioning is now redundant as Inquirer has a Technology section while GMA 7 has an Infotech section. Even the Adsense accounts are different, the former having a Premium Publisher status while the latter only has a regular account.
The mystery still remains though — why did they decided to split?

[...] That, after some months of speculations (and denials), a praise release, and an obvious re-alignment of articles (with the occasional incidents of infinite domain redirections). Nice to really hear it from the horse’s mouth this time. [...]
[...] So the split-up between Inquirer and GMA 7 is true. While Inquirer.net uses the old Inq7.net format, GMANews.tv is fresh and has made a successful revolution. Although still in its beta stage, I must say it’s a job well done! The site uses Flash Video format for showing news clippings that had been previously broadcasted on TV. Remember that it made YouTube a billion-dollar success (having been purchased by Google). [...]
Inq7.net / Inquirer.net seems to be in an infinite loop of redirection as of 11am PST. check it out. weird!
I seriously doubt that.
