Fun 2001 Predictions
from the a-few-days-late dept
I thought it was customary to print your "predictions" articles before the New Year, but I guess Salon is making their own rules. Their predictions for the tech world in 2001 are pretty funny. A couple of dot coms report a profit and the world returns to late-1999 days, Bill Gates heading up the FTC, and AOL/Time Warner being taken over by AmIHotOrNot.com (they're not).
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
