I had carbonite about two weeks ago and killed it from my desktop. Didn’t care for how it didn’t backup video files and such.
Wonder if Rush will stop advertising for them.
This is pretty normal for companies, I know Epinions.com had a major problem (probably still do) with ‘professional reviewers’ posing as regular consumers.
Hmmm...Guess I’d better stop pimping books I sell there too, Eh? ;)
First hint? Don’t use your real name, LOL!
You want to see marketing in action? Check out Twitter. You should see the shameless pimping of product that goes on there. ;)
Another shot at Limbaugh. This happens what, like forty times an hour? I can spot these planted reviews from a mile away (at least some of them, and there are A LOT. Soooooooooooooooo... Carbonite does it, and they advertise on what show? This isn’t a news story, it’s a warning to Limbaugh’s advertisers...Hey dude, advertise on Rush and we’ll kill your product and your company with bad news stories. Wonder if this was discussed with 0’s chief of staff when they got their morning marching orders.
This is just trying to get at Limbaugh. He has Carbonite’s people in his suite at the Superbowl this weekend too.
I bought carbonite a few years ago and I like it — except for the fact that they don’t back up Macs yet! So I have to run my backup through a PC. What is nice though is that they keep all my old stuff forever somewhere out there online as long as I keep paying. One day they will work for macs and I can interact easier with what they are saving for me. But it’s good to know that a fire here cannot ruin my old photos, etc.
Carbonite ripped me off months ago. I will never use them again. Got that Leo? “The Tech Guy?”
Carbonite sucks. Killed my machine also
