Internet World Is Boring
from the not-much-to-do dept
Apparently, Internet World this year was a bit on the dull side as the glamour has gone out of the internet business. The only articles that seem to be even remotely interesting all have to do with Charmed Technologies. Wired is more interested in the woman behind Charmed (27 year-old, ex-spy, ex-model, ex-body guard of billionaires), while The Register focuses on their funky technologies including the "PheroMate". Apparently, this is a device to help people find their perfect partners through smell. Sounds like a winner.
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
