It’s a shame you’re getting downvoted, since you’re right about the content. The list of “truths” isn’t anything more than a feature list. I got to #4 before coming to the comments, where I found the top three comments were all well-written positive reviews of the product. The whole submission screams of a well-executed marketing play.
- fhoffa 9y agoOh hi! I work for Google. I browse Hacker News in my free time - like now, from a plane. Conspiracy fodder: how smart (or not) would a team need to be to plan a "well-executed marketing play" for an enterprise database warehouse -- in the morning of freakin Saturday December 23rd? http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31100000/Classic-Patrick-spongebob-squarepants-31126065-338-500.jpg http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31100000/Classic-Patr...
- bloudermilk 9y agoRespectfully, I’m not seeing how your employment at Google or your being on a plane is relevant to my comment. If you had the experience I do working at marketing agencies for brands such as Google, I suspect you wouldn’t find my theory near conspiracy territory. I concede that such a play likely wouldn’t be considered well-executed given the timing, but it’s entirely within the realm of possibility.
