What Ever Happened To Those New Business Models?
from the throw-'em-out-with-the-trash dept
Red Herring takes a look at what's become of all the famous new economy business models. They carefully make fun of each one (of the big ones) and then say that if you want to raise money for a company today, then your business plan shouldn't have a business model - it should be obvious from the very beginning how you're going to make money. What's funny about this is that, of the tech business magazines, Red Herring was probably the worst in over promoting the most ridiculous business models from the earliest days of the dot com craze.
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
