TellMe Brings In More Cash
from the wow dept
As lots of other dot coms are struggling to stay in business, Tellme has just raised another $125 million. I still haven't figured this one out. I understand what they do, but they have a lot of competition, and no clear advantage. Also, frankly, I don't think the service is that big a deal. I could see myself using it very sparsely. Surfing the web over the phone using my voice just isn't that appealing to me. Someone tell me what I'm missing.
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
