Series Saver On Michael Saylor
from the quick-and-easy dept
Back in January I posted one part of a Washington Post 4-part series on Microstrategy's Michael Saylor. I ended up not posting the other 3 parts because it just seemed like too much. Here comes Slate to the rescue. They apparently have a "series saver" feature that summarizes (with a bit of attitude) long, multi-part series in other newspapers and magazines so that you don't have to waste your time reading them all. Now they cram the Saylor series down into a manageable page, so you can see just what an annoying self-publicizing guy he was. The Slate article also points out that the Washington Post (who wrote the original series) was one of Saylor's biggest promoters during the boomtime, and also that Post insiders made lots of money off of Microstrategy...
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.
