TheGlobe Moves On To... Digital Telephony?
from the we'll-try-anything-once dept
I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to find out that TheGlobe still exists at all. The last I had heard (over a year ago) was that they were shutting down. However, it turns out that the "company" moved to Florida and was running a site and a magazine about computer games. Apparently, that wasn't doing the trick, either, and they're selling the computer games stuff and buying some secretive "digital telephony assets" to restart the business yet again. I'm a little confused why they should even bother. There's no reason to dump TheGlobe.com's name onto anything any more (and, if anything, it probably makes them look worse). If the digital telephony assets they're buying are worth anything, then they should simply start a separate company for them that has nothing to do with the disaster that was TheGlobe.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.
