EMI Tries Fake Word Of Mouth Campaign To Promote Ok Go

,----[ Quote ]
| Well, now, instead of allowing a real "word 
| of mouth" viral campaign with the video, it 
| looks like EMI/Capitol has decided to 
| bootstrap a fake viral word of mouth 
| campaign, by sending around emails (and even 
| submitting directly to us) a request to "get 
| a free Ok Go" song if you just Tweet about 
| it. Seriously. So rather than letting people 
| organically share what they wanted to share, 
| EMI is trying to bribe people into promoting 
| something else.
| 
| EMI, you're doing it wrong.

One Grand Deal Too Many Costs Lobbyist His Job

| After about two dozen years in Congress,

| after bigger game â the giant, 200-pound 
| whitetail deer that run through the area of 
| south Texas that hunters call the Golden 
| Triangle.

The end of health care reform?

,----[ Quote ]
| The longer this goes on and the larger the 
| loss in potential company profits, the less 
| likely any reform seems. Consider now that 
| none of this would be happening if drugs 
| weren't patented.

Will Evangelize Your Tech Company for Food

,----[ Quote ]
| Don Dodge used to be an official evangelist
| for Microsoft, hyping the company's software
| and insulting its competitor Google. Then
| Microsoft laid him off, and Google hired him.
| Cue the bitter, flip-flopping blog post in
| which Dodge loudly switches sides.
