Other side: they got what they wanted: attention and people talking about them. My perspective: if you can't earn the attention by adding value, insight and credibility, then what's the point? It's sad that a lot of people really do believe that the only bad press is an obituary. I know, you're shocked that there's such a thing as a ethical marketer... I am trying to do what I can :) Le sigh :(
