Salon Buys The Well
from the does-this-really-matter dept
Salon, who is going through a lot of changes these days, as they finally bought the salon.com domain, has now bought the Well one of the oldest and most well known online communities. A bit of surprise. The Well has been struggling for some time to figure out exactly what they were going to do with their service which was held together by a bunch of old timers who are rabid in their support of the Well.

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
