I wonder if this was a publicity stunt to get people to go check out patch.com?
I'm only half-kidding.. I had never heard of it before, and I went to look at it after reading the article. Anyone else?
I'm not an American so I'm not in the target market, but a lot of these kinds of sites live and die by early adopters and tech influencers who start using them and advocate to their networks.
Crossed my mind. I sure went and checked it out. I've used it once by accident and didn't know it as AOL. But, if anything, this just made it worse. Now it has a bloodstain on it.
So if it was meant to be a publicity stunt, it sure as hell backfired. But then again, if they were good at marketing and publicity stunts, they probably wouldn't be firing people on the spot or extolling how great it is for employees to sacrifice their nights and weekends for the cause even after their children break their legs falling off the stairs.
