Techdirt: Rolling Right Along
from the rolling-rolling-rolling dept
Over at SiliconBeat, Matt Marshall has an altogether too kind post about some of what's going on here at Techdirt, even revealing a few things we haven't yet discussed publicly. We'll have more details on these and a few other things in the coming weeks...
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

Re: The easy life
Good grief let's hope not.. the last thing Techdirt needs is to cater to the whiney, teenage hax0r audience. We don't need another clone of that silliness, there's enough of it on the net already. I think Techdirt and it's community are doing just fine as it is, they're on the right track.
However, it would be nice to see more stories with a social slant, like how technology impacts communities, and stories and viewpoints that drive the engine for social understanding and change, such as the current China/Google controversy that's been in the news these days. The reporting at Techdirt for that was excellent.
A site should do much more than just report news. It should create it as well, and be a positive force for change for the better.

'dirt growth
TechDirt has my congratulations and sympathy.
Whether Mike & the crew survive the blessing and curse of that climbing curve on the chart will be interesting to behold.
Onward and upward, guys.

Re: No Subject Given
Uh, thanks. But, to clarify we're a fair bit bigger than just the founding team these days (and Carlo wasn't a founder). :)
Still, thanks for the kind words.

Sheesh, it took the whole TD team to create the TD of today, not just one person.
If the public sees TD as how it is represented to be, then that is just how TD represents itself as being (if it walks & quacks like a duck....)
