Techie Business Magazines Get Too Big

from the hefty-magazine dept

If you still receive any techie business magazines in their paper format (personally, I've ditched most of my subscriptions), you'll notice that those magazines are getting very heavy. Salon discusses this problem. I did just receive the latest Business 2.0 and discovered that it barely fit in the mailbox. Anyway, for execs who are worried they can't possibly read through all of that, I have a simple solution: just read Techdirt.

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

    I agree

    I definitely agree with you here. I used to have subscriptions to byte, pcmag, pcworld and windowsmag. But, once I upgraded to a 14.4 from my 9600, and found I could get it all online, I haven't looked back. Occasionally I'll pick one of these magazines up on a plane flight, and I'm amazed at how much of the mag is adverts. That's the real reason why they are so big.

    Long Live Techdirt

    Right on! Keep writing the dirt on technology. I don't want to read through those advertisement bloated magazines.
