Post Mortem For Red Herring
from the death-of-a-cheerleader dept
Om Malik, a former writer for Red Herring (something this article doesn't happen to mention) has written a short article, supposedly about the death of Red Herring, but really it's a "celebration" of everything that's happened in the technology world over the past ten years when Red Herring was around. His argument is that Red Herring did a good job chronicling the rise of the technology generation - and the reason for its eventual failure was that technology has now become mainstream. It doesn't need an "insider's guide" any more.
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
