Giving Up Email Alerts For WAP
from the hmm dept
It seems that there's a large number of people who actually like news alerts to come to them via email. There are also a large number of people who can't stand using WAP to look up information on their phone. Thus, it makes you wonder why UK news organization Ananova is ditching their email news alerts in favor of WAP alerts. It seems that these are two entirely different markets, and it would certainly make sense to at least keep the email alerts.
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
