Dot Coms We Miss

from the that-feeling-of-loss dept

The folks over at Business 2.0 have started putting together a list of dot coms they miss. They start out with three obvious ones: Kozmo, Webvan and Napster (though you could argue that Napster is sort of still around). It is unfortunate that companies that provide a useful service haven't been able to survive. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who reads Techdirt often that I'd add Metricom to the list (even if they're not really a dot com).

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

    Not a problem. I miss NerdPerfect too. I also miss GeekPress, if we're talking about good, useful sites of this nature.
