Wired Discovers Wil Wheaton's Site
from the oh-well dept
Are there stories that Wired does that they don't bite off of Slashdot? They've finally decided the story about Wil Wheaton creating his own website is worth a story. Hasn't this one been covered to death ages ago? Yes, Wheaton's site is great, but Wired only decided to cover the story after Slashdot did one of their "interviews" with him. Must be a slow news day. I mean, how many stories can you write about the damn SegWay?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.
