How come the little guys can’t get the free laptops? We’re more likely to actually get excited about a free laptop from Microsoft than get upset about it. We’re more likely to drool all over Vista and the Ferrari’s that where handed out. Personally, I would have taken the thing to work and let everyone else look at it (from a great distance). I’m positive that my blog would have gotten more hits
What I think is funny is that the great almighty blogosphere has decided that these gifts are blasphemy sent from hell, after it passed Go and collected $200. The good people of the world (aka: The great almighty blogosphere that knows and see all) are angry with the bloggers that received the hardware because it wasn’t disclosed right away or they posted stories so fast, they left out the facts. I for one, promise that everything that I receive, I will post about and fully disclose.
I actually received a gift about 20 minutes ago. It was brown, stinky and my wife complained about it, so I had to flush it and use air freshener.
Do people honestly think that others are going to fully disclose every single thing that they received in the mail? Seriously, this is stupid. I received a Tie, a magazine and a book in the mai…oh, it was a silk tie, the magazine was Inc. and the MCAD book was from… the tie was silver and is silk… the book is from the MSFT press. OH CRAP - the book was from Ama…the book and tie where from Amazon.
Get the point people? Stop crying about this. I’m willing to bet this was anticipated - its called Viral Marketing and it works for obvious reasons…like how the whole world is crying over these laptops (I still want one!)…
I’d almost say people where jealous over these issues. I’ll admit, I am, and I’ll take the donation when one of you bloggers are done reviewing your laptop. ;-P
