Inside The Collapsing Kibu
from the girl-power dept
I usually don't post stories that are a few days old, but I just came across the following insider's view of Kibu. It's astounding. I cannot believe this company got as far as it did. I also take back earlier statements I made concerning Kibu and how they must have been smart enough to figure out how to do something with their money. While the story is from a disgruntled fired employee, I'm still amazed. It's an example of the worst of dot com stupidity. Of course, most dot coms are not like this - but too many have elements of that culture in 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
