The Big Three Dot Coms
from the not-doing-that-badly,-actually dept
The Economist takes the time to point out that while everyone is attacking B2C dot coms, the big three of Yahoo!, eBay, and Amazon actually have built pretty strong businesses bringing in billions of dollars. They admit that all three face challenges, but people tend to forget that these really are huge corporations now. In fact, the dot com shakeout, may help all three in the long run, by getting rid of the pesky competition.
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
