Wal*Mart Books Reprise
from the I-Write,-They-Listen dept
Yesterday I told Wal*Mart to reboot their on-line selling strategy in these very pages, readers, and they have apparently taken my advice: they just inked a deal with Books-a-million, the number 3 on-line book seller. Unclear whether they'll get access to the BAM "catalog", but BAM will at least provide Wal*Mart with fulfilment for on-line orders. Maybe this was a coincidence or maybe Techdirt is flowing right to the hearts and minds of executives everywhere...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.
