After The Buzz Is Gone
from the where-do-companies-go? dept
Fortune has an article basically admitting that the press was completely suckered by ThirdVoice last year when they launched. It was a product that the media loved, but no one wanted. It was easy to explain and had a "coolness" factor to it. Of course, it didn't have much of a "usefulness" factor. This is why we need folks who are naturally skeptical and who will point out a stupid overhyped idea when they see one.
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
