Good and bad for business

In theory, this will be a great way for companies that aren't well known to get their name thrown around faster. It will also let companies like say, Sony, know when their customers are very unhappy, and when potential customers are lost.

Sometimes I wonder if companies are bothering to look at customer response. It seems like sometimes a company does it's best to screw the customer over, even if they think they are doing the right thing.

whats the web for? has tech benefited?

I am weary of this..

though I am a big fan of IBM and support the purchasing of thier products and services whenever possible..

I am not affiliated with IBM in anyway... nor do my comments reflect any opinion upon IBM "the company" in any way

in an age when good jobs are scarce and opportunity so far out of reach of an individual.. and "saving face" such a value... and the "citizen" watch... and the files on people...

I will always love tech... no one will ever make me hate my job... I will always progress tech in a positive direction.. no one can stop me!

its not about saving face.. faces are for web cams.. must we sit in traffic to show our faces?

ABOUT FACE!!
