Who Is This?

Don’t click on the link. Instead, create a link in the comments section to a news story or blog post about them. And only label your link as “link.”

Just trying to have some fun.

From CNN:

Here’s a five-step plan guaranteed to make an obscure company absolutely notorious.

First get into a business you don’t understand, selling to customers who barely understand it either. Then roll out your product without adequate testing. Don’t hire enough skilled people. When people notice problems, deny, obfuscate and ignore. Finally, blame your critics when it all blows up in your face.

Guessed it yet? Remember, follow the directions please.

Almost too easy – being it’s election week, and the problems…. but I did just consider Microsoft…. I guess we can call them the grandfather of the quote?
