Carbonite, Sleep-Number and who else?

They are toast.

Doesn’t look like a dip was caused by the backlash of Rush supporters, but pulling their sponsorship was a dumb move that did not help their company.

Over priced if it is over a penny. Buy a walmart computer and back up your files to it, save a ton.

Drop like a rock - - Slut Company
I got an e-mail from them telling me they are going to offer FREE external hard drive back-up. I told them where to go. That they got their last dime from me, even if they should apologize to RUSH.

Advertising on Rush’s program was the only thing that gave Carbonite any credibility anyway.

There are more conservatives than there are liberals.

Carbonite is learning that.

I hope all those chicken-sh*t former Rush advertisers go under. To hell with the lot of them.

Ok, I hate to ask this.
But what is average stock price doing of companies who pulled out of Rush's show?

Looks like they weren’t doing to good anyway. Maybe their decision to jump on the anti-Rush bandwagon was the last desperate attempt of a dying company to stir up some buzz. They figure we can’t do worse than we are, anything that shakes things up could only help.

Their stock price is going down faster than Sandra Fluke for a box of condoms.

The CEO is a big Lib. He donated the maximum personal amount to Obama.

Here’s an article from when their IPO came out:

http://blogs.reuters.com/small-business/2011/08/18/a-look-into-carbonites-ipo/

The money quote:

“Carbonite spends as much as $55 to land customers, who spend just $59 annually to backup their PC’s documents, pictures, videos and other precious data. He justified the high acquisition cost by pointing to Carbonite’s own research that shows once converted, their customers stick with them – on average – for 5 years”

If people don’t stick with them, it will be a quick fall.

It is very perplexing that they stuck a finger in the eye of current customers, to satisfy allegedly prospective customers.

I predict that, a year from now, they will be either gone, or absorbed by another company.

I’m adding to the drop today. I wanted to get Mozy up first. Is that one of the better ones to use?
