Loudcloud - A Story Company
from the let's-squeeze-money-out-of-the-public-markets dept
I haven't quite figured out what to think of Loudcloud, it's a cool, hyped company but I'm not sure whether I think they'll be successful. When Andreessen announced that he plans to take the company public soon it set off those post correction alarm bells in my head. The company has so far made revenues of $1.6 Million and they are still running at a huge loss, in my opinion it looks like another pump and dump pre-correction style, that isn't going to work.
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
