Following Directions

What they said:

I BankCoin.com

CAUTION: NOT FOR THOSE WITH SENSITIVITY. OR TASTE. OR AN EDUCATION. OR A STOCK PORTFOLIO.


"One more thing:

Those fuckers from Snap.com are flat out liars. You know the company that provided those annoying little pop-up previews?

As far as I’m concerned, they’re either frauds or grossly inept. Either way, if you operate a blog, stay away from them."

Here's what happened:

A few weeks ago, we invited ibankcoin.com to participate in a beta test of a Publisher Program and they agreed.

Inexplicably, they did not follow the very simple directions we gave them, and, because of this, we were unable to track their performance and properly credit their accounts.

So, naturally, they blame us, flame us, and call us nasty names on their blog.

Here's what we're going to do about it:

Nothing. Not a thing.

What you fail to tell the 1 person reading this blog is that your people are disoriented rank amateurs, who are unable to deal with the simple basics of web 2.0.

Also, your company is unable to give any sort of affiliate earnings analysis.

When I complained about the lack of transparency, a Snap rep replied, saying: "we will give you weekly updates."

Two weeks fast forward, upon asking "hey, how's it going," A Snap rep replied: "Oh, we gave you the wrong code. We are unable to track the data."

In other words, your company is making false promises or entirely inept.

You choose.

It's a shame because the technology is quite good.

You're right, of course. We forgot to tell the people reading this blog that the team that created Overture and sold it to Yahoo! are rank amateurs. The worst of the worst. No concept of Web 2.0. That's what Apple said when they invited us to present at their Worldwide Developer Conference. And what's allowed us to become the most widely-distributed semantic application on the Internet. Or perhaps you didn't follow simple directions.

Hmmmm...

This blog is a very unusual concept... But bravo, it made me chortle as I was reading it.

Interresting concept indeed, this blog. For me Snapshots is a pretty good plugin, it adds a very interresting feature for a blog, with the advantage of being free... Unfortunately there is a conflict (or was, when I tried it) with javascript / css menus using invisible elements becoming visible. But I know my case is special, most people don't create menus for their blogs and just keep the standard layout, in which case it works perfectly...
