Inside.com was a website and trade magazine that covered "the converging worlds of entertainment, media, music and technology."[2] Launched with a great deal of hype in the spring of 2000,[3] Inside was a victim of the dot-com bubble and the early 2000s recession, and it closed down at the end of 2001. Company headquarters were in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.[4]

The magazine/website is not related to the later Jason Calacanis startup Inside.com, which focuses on delivering thematic newsletters.[5]
