Orbitz To Go Public
from the one-by-one,-they-start-crawling-out dept
One by one, surviving dot coms have been testing the market. The latest is Orbitz deciding to test the public waters. They're hoping to raise $125 million, and might have a pretty good shot. The one online industry that people keep saying has been successful has been travel. Of course, most people are still so against any sort of dot com IPO, that who knows how well it will really do.
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
