Liquidator Liquidated

from the good-or-bad? dept

During the dot com bust years, there was high demand for dot com liquidators to come in and clean up the last bits of your business and sell off the pieces. Danny O'Brien has noted one of the firms that focused on helping companies liquidate and auction off all their goods, is now liquidating itself as its remaining assets are being auctioned off. This does raise the inevitable question of whether or not this is a good sign or a bad sign? If a company that made all its business shutting down tech companies has to go out of business, does that mean that tech companies aren't shutting down 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

    It just means the industry is lean again.
    No more fat to suck up.
    Don't worry, it'll happen again.
    Give it ten to twelve years, and we'll be where we are now.

    Nothing ever really changes in this industry.
