DotComGuy to Live On Web for One Year

from the stupid-web-tricks dept

Okay, this one falls into the stupidity category also. Some guy has legally changed his name to DotComGuy, and is going to live in a house which he can't leave (other than going out to the yard) for one year. He is, of course, going to survive entirely via the web. Basically, a huge publicity stunt. There have been a ton of these, but this one seems to be the biggest, and perhaps silliest.

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
