Is Bezos Next?

from the the-CEO-shuffle-watch dept

Business Week is suggesting that it might not be long until Jeff Bezos follows Tim Koogle's lead and is pushed out of the Amazon.com CEO spot. Despite all of Amazon's problems, plenty of people still think it will make it through - but a lot more people seem to think negatively on Amazon than those who thought negatively about Yahoo! before last week's announcement. Anyway, if anyone knows any of these recently pushed out dot com CEOs, I'm willing to let them write for Techdirt, if they need a place to start "getting back into things". Of course, that's only if they can pass the infamous Techdirt "writer's test".

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

    Techdirt writers test

    Yeah, they might also have to do a stock swap, Mike could exchange all their old companies "useless" stock for Techdirt stock (on a stock for stock basis).

    I think Techdirt's current estimated market cap is around $345.65 million*, I'm sure Mike will quite happily round to the nearest 100k on a stock for stock basis. What a great deal, eh?

    *current valuation based on forecasting techniques pioneered at Amazon and adapted by Techdirt staff (p.s. analyst aren't allowed to have the data 'cause it's secret, right Jeff?)
