CommerceOne Has a Great IPO
from the buzzword-central dept
Not a real big surprise here, but CommerceOne followed in Ariba's footsteps and had an insane IPO. I think this is a good thing. I'm glad that companies with real businesses are going public and recognized, whereas some of the one's that are obviously dot-coms for Wall Street's sake are having more problems. Not that CommerceOne is perfect, mind you, or that they deserve such a valuation, but I think it points more towards a trend of actually knowing what you're investing in rather than sucking up the latest dot-com. Of course, next week perhaps this trend will revert back to pure stupidity. Who knows?
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
