TheMan.com Shuts Down

from the offline-or-online-this-was-a-stupid-business-idea dept

TheMan.com has shut down operations and has posted the resumes of most of the employees who worked there. This site was touted as the next generation in ecommerce plays a year ago when it launched. It was focused on a specific demographic and would sell high end items to that demographic (that being busy, high income men). Well, they lasted a year, which is about 11 months longer than I had given them.

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

      Re: tattoos

      I actually thought that TheMan.com was a cool idea, I thought they would eventually figure out a way to make mens lives easier (i.e. anniversary reminders, birtdays and etc.) but it ended up being just a crappy site with very little interesting information and crappy presents. Maybe I'll start TheCheapMen.com, a cheap site where all men can increase the attention that women feel they pay them but at the same time save the money!
