MarchFirst Running Out Of Money
from the walk-before-you-march dept
MarchFirst is apparently running out of money. They don't have enough cash to meet their short term needs. This is exceptionally bad. Perhaps they should have stopped merging themselves into a 10,000 person company and actually taken a moment to figure out how to make money. Also, with all the mergers, they had to keep changing their name, and basically start over from a marketing standpoint. While I think the MarchFirst name is awful (as are the commercials), it's gotta be better than continuing to add names to Whittman-Hart-USWeb/CKS.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.
