Techdirt On TechTV
from the geek-site-of-the-day? dept
Techdirt? The "geek site of the day"? What a surprise. Actually, it comes after multiple promises from the folks at TechTV all last week that swore up and down that we were going to be the "geek site of the day" that day. On Thursday we got beat out by nothing (harsh) and on Friday by the website for the movie Joe Dirt (much harsher). I didn't even look at who beat us on Monday. But, on Tuesday, Techdirt was TechTV's "geek site of the day" mainly for our little anti-contest to their geek makeover contest. I was happy to notice, by the way, that absolutely no one entered their contest because, let's face it, geeks are a pretty lazy bunch. Anyway, they also were kind enough to put a link to our contest from their contest page. We discussed letting the winners of each of our contests go on a date together, but that seems unlikely since no one entered their contest, and the only entries I've received here have been awful.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.
