Jupiter's Research Business: Sold For $250,000
from the ouch dept
Jupiter was, of course, one of the high flying research firms of the dot com boom days. While it's true that many people weren't all that impressed with their research (and others blame Jupiter and the other analyst firms for helping to pump up the dot com bubble) it's still a bit surprising that they sold off what's left of the research and events business for the tiny sum of $250,000. They sold it to INT Media Group, publishers of internet.com.
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
