Quokka Team Finishing What They Started
from the but-not-so-well dept
Quokka Sports, of course, was one of the more famous dot com flameouts last year. However, they had been given the contract to build the website for this year's Olympic games. When Quokka died, MSNBC snagged the contract. Apparently, they had trouble finding the right folks to build the site, so they just hired most of the Quokka team. Of course, that doesn't mean that Jakob Nielsen approves.
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
