Paint The Moon Failed
from the no-big-surprise-there dept
Back in August there was a buzz around the silly Paint The Moon project that no one ever expected would work anyway. I pretty much forgot about it as other events in the world seem to outshine in in September... However, US Today now has a followup telling us (as we all knew) that it didn't work. However, it did make people happy in an odd unified way. That's got to be good for something.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.
