Looksmart Raises $60 Million?
from the hmmmm dept
It's April 1st already, and that makes me cautious of any article that I'm not sure I believe. For instance, the Herring is claiming that LookSmart has raised $60 million in its latest round of funding. That's a hell of a lot. That seems questionable to me, though the rest of the story looks somewhat legit, and it's got more obvious weight to it than the completely made up company that the Herring wrote about a few years back for April Fools.
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.
