A Bloggie?

from the how-nice dept

Way too many "Techdirt-related" posts lately. Anyway, I just (somewhat randomly, I'll admit) noticed that Techdirt has been nominated for a Bloggie award for best computer or technology weblog. Considering Slashdot is the competition, I imagine the chances of winning are about as good as Microsoft admitting they don't make very secure software... no, wait... about as good as Amazon.com ever declaring a profit... no, wait... then again, maybe we do have a chance.

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

    Low noise, less errors, and no loosing corporate m

    Considering you don't blow things (like yesterday's /dorks freebsd release), you don't have a corporate master who'd like to dump you but can't figure out how to, (We wanted to be 'the company you came to for all things linux', even had linux in our name. But now we're dumping the linux stuff as fast as we can, in fact we got rid of it from our name), and you have kept the /dork style trolls off the system, you got my vote.

    And, if /dork doesn't put this nomination on thier front page, you might even have a chance.

    Me too

    I voted for you too! /dot is okay, but honestly their snobbery level gets to me. Not to mention that Techdirt's Apple coverage is way better:-)
