Techdirt has been around since before the word "blog" existed. Now it is home for 12 -- a mixture of writers, tech folks, sales and marketing
Private research
The core of Techdirt's business today is private research - customized, detailed corporate intelligence reports. Mike explains it this way: "insightful, opinionated posts on competitive areas including the tech market, and legal trends, up-to-date in a quick, insightful manner that lets them do their job and be more intelligent about what they do every day." They have three dozen clients, most Fortune 500. Among those willing to go on the record are Volkswagen and Verisign.
