Content Wheeling and Dealing
from the we-shall-merge-and-conquer dept
Feed and Suck have formed a new media network called "Automatic media". Their plan, among other things is to increase user-generated content (basically what you all do on Techdirt and Slashdot) on their sites and pursue low cost marketing strategies. Oh and of course hints towards profitability in the near future were also made by each company (it seems to be a standard now in the industry). I have to admit that I've always been a proponent of content companies on the Internet, they may not be very profitable but they can make pages pretty "sticky".
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
