Dice Holdings Trading down on Disappointing Earnings

Dice Holdings, the company that now owns Slashdot and runs specialty job boards, seems to have hit a rough patch. An article from earlier this month reports Dice Holdings is trading down by 4.1% due to disappointing earnings. Yahoo's stock charts don't make it look like the situation is too bad, but look to Dice's CEO for guidance and you'll be surprised. Turns out Scott Melland is feeling bearish and recently sold over $500,000 in Dice stock. Here is the transcript of the earnings call, in which they unleash the bad news about Dice earnings.

Personally, I recommend they plaster Slashdot with more obnoxious banner ads .

Good comments. Yes, I'm noticing 100+ comments on some articles - an order of magnitude better than Soy and two orders of magnitude better than Pipe. But a heck of a lot of those comments are garbage, almost at the Reddit level of tomfoolery. Long gone are the days when it was a bastion of tough, knowledgeable nerds. They're still in there, but the signal to noise ratio has dropped.

Also, the new banner ads, like the one at the bottom that actually obscures the text, are unforgiveable and truly obnoxious. They're going to look like LinuxToday before too long, and LT is currently, totally unuseable it's been so stuffed with horsecrap on the front page. The content is like an afterthought, a little texty buffer zone that keeps the ad-choked sidebars from collapsing into each other under their own weight.
