People Auctions
from the looks-great-on-paper dept
Monster.com tried to get into the auction business by allowing people to auction their services online. Turns out people don't want to hire others that way. Or something along those lines, because of the thousands of folks who are trying to auction themselves off, close to no one has had any success. Of course, I'm sure that won't stop a few startups from trying to raise a few million dollars to try to do the same thing.
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
