What Technology Collapse?
from the who's-done-what-now? dept
A very good article that points out the view from inside the technology world is very different than the view from outside. While the popular press (and, sure, okay, we're guilty of it a bit too) is trumpeting all the failing dot coms, most of us in the industry see technology companies that are still thriving. The article compares the situation to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake when all the media coverage made it appear as if the Bay Area was completely wiped out.
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
