Lots of Earnings
from the some-big-names dept
There were lots of big name internet companies announcing earnings today. Here are a few: Amazon had smaller than expected losses but also smaller than expected sales. Not necessarily a good sign. Plus their site was down for a bit today as well. EMachines is having major inventory problems leading to bigger than expected losses. The only good one of the bunch seems to be VerticalNet who had smaller than expected losses as well as getting their new top exec from Amazon.
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
