Todd writes "Drugstore.com has announced that they've filed to IPO. As CNET reports, this is 3 months after they opened their website, though they have been "around" for a little over a year." Wow, that's quick. Though I have to admit, they've got the publicity of a public company already. I assume this one will be quite the mega-hyped IPO as well, even though it's pretty difficult to get any judge of their potential performance via their financial statements. Of course, who the hell looks at financial statements 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
