More Techie IPOs
from the window...-opening... dept
Last month we noted that an awful lot of tech companies were getting ready to go public, and since it signaled the (at least momentary) opening of the IPO window, it seemed likely that lots of other tech companies that have been hanging around waiting would try to take advantage of it. So, it's no surprise to hear more and more tech IPO stories. Just as online diamond store Blue Nile goes public, everyone's favorite lawsuit magnet, Michael Robertson is getting set to file the IPO paperwork for Lindows - which is apparently still the company's name, despite their recent product name switch to Linspire.
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
