Info On Websites is Out of Date
from the old-news dept
A new study shows that the majority of companies publish old and out of date info on their web pages. Apparently companies don't have much in the way of procedures to verify the information they have up on their websites.
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

Yes and no...
The survey results are certainly consistant with the company that I work for.
From the article
That's kind of a half truth. No one would send out of date information to a publisher, but then again, I doubt that there are many companies who actively post out of date information to their website. It is the lack of timely updates that kills the websites, and I think that's a problem that's almost more likely with printed brochures.
It's just that there are a finite number of brochures so there comes a point when they have to be looked at again, but a website can be easily forgotten.
