MSNBC.com to go public
from the Soon-divisions-of-divisions-will-be-going-public dept
MSNBC.com is talking to investment bankers about its interest in going public. At some point, don't we have to say a division of two other companies can't really go public? I mean, I'm all for those guys getting rich and all, but where is the line drawn on who can take themselves public and who can't?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.

MSNBC is...a good thing, the IPO? Dunno
MSNBC is my number one news source. Both in Tech and speed of articles posted. The BEST thing it has going for it ....is the streaming real time LIVE MSNBC cable news. I put this on a box at work and full screen it .....making it look like I am watching TV...users freak. The thought of MSNBC.(com) going IPO is odd. Is not MSNBC [cable] and the .COM the samething/company?!!
Think of Yahoo, is their magazine also another company or just a brach?
