Launching LetsTalk.com
from the that-fun-launch-crunch dept
With all the "behind the scenes" IPO stories that keep popping up, I realized I haven't seen too many stories like the following: the "behind the scenes" product launch. Here's the story behind LetsTalk.com's site launch, which realistically is much more meaningful than any IPO story. This gives a better feel for what it's really like to be at an internet startup (things such as having to run back to your cubicle to reboot a server when the "launched" site doesn't show up).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
