Boo is Back
from the boom-and-bust--boom-and-bust dept
Kate Buggelen is assigned the bizarre task of resuscitating boo.com. Yep, the original boo failed but Mrs Buggelen believes that she and her staff have learnt from the mistakes boo.com made in the past. Not only that they believe that their new revenue model will provide them with that elusive path to profitability, the good old unproven banner ad model. I guess the only question left is when they'll go bust, rather than if!
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
