Getting Deals Online

from the cheap-cheap-cheap-free dept

A look at the current fad for finding crazy cheap deals and promotions online. It's a bit scary how quickly these things get around, and how they've become almost part of the lingo here. I know friends who ask about whether or not you got in on a random "free DVD" deal or something like that. People are obsessed with finding the great deal online.

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

    People are simply obsessed with free stuff -online or not. It's just easier to enter contests online -- no envelope, no stamp, no trip to the post office....

    And our DVD player wasn't free, it was $400 off....
