Skymall lays off 15%
from the Flying-low dept
Skymall, that company that brings you the in-flight shopping magazines, has laid off 15% of it's work-force. Now, you may say, Dan, what the hell does that have to do with the Web? Well, Skymall has been refocusing its efforts on its Web site in the past year or so and it hasn't been paying off. Quite honestly, I love looking at the crap that they put in the magazine but I have never bought anything because as soon as I step off the plane I forget what I was looking at.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
