Fry's Completes Outpost Deal (Finally)
from the what-a-mess dept
After quite the dot com soap opera, Fry's has finally completed their purchase of Outpost.com. Now, we just have to wait and see what happens. They claim they're pretty much going to leave it alone, but I don't think anyone really believes that will last very long. I also think it's pretty funny that the Fry's people (known for their awful customer service) talk about Outpost's reputation for great customer service. So, whose customer service reputation will influence the other's more?
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
