Does Loudcloud Have Too Much Money?
from the is-that-possible? dept
Do you want to read about a company that has too much money? Well, people are wondering if the $200 million that Loudcloud has raised is too much. The problem is that it tends to make the company not particularly efficient or careful. They tend to overspend, and think they're successful way before they are. The folks at Loudcloud say they're being careful to avoid this since they're all successful entrepreneurs already. Personally that worries me even more, as I wonder how "hungry" they are. They don't need this to succeed.
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.
