iCast is Coming
from the amateur-hour-or-NBC-of-the-internet? dept
There has been a lot of talk about iCast, so it will be fun to watch when it finally launches and see if it really is the next stage for online content or a complete flop, like most online content attempts so far. My first impression is that it will flop, simply because too much effort is going into it. I think the successses will come from something that is simple and just catches on.
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
