No, it's a royal dick move to announce it right when the competitor just switch hands, especially in this case when your competitor happens to be -up to this moment- an independent guy that has done this project for years on his own.
The service is not being terminated, that info has been posted for a long time... so again, unnecessary and unasked for. That's all.
- achompas 14y agoNo, it's a royal dick move to announce it right when the competitor just switch hands [sic] Really? This is an interesting post on what is ostensibly a website about entrepreneurship, especially one that constantly discusses customer acquisition.
- wklauss 14y agoWe are not arguing that is a bad business tactic or that its not a good move if you want to attract customers. Just that it is a dick move. It can be both a dick move AND a good boost for Pocket.
- kybernetyk 14y agoDick move? Hmm, last time I checked this is still business and it's a good tactical move to take your main competitor's customers/users when there's a good opportunity.
- wklauss 14y agoThat doesn't mean its not a dick move. Especially considering the way it was phrased. Again. I'm not saying that this is not something Pocket shouldn't do, just that in this case, and considering Marco's dedication to this, it's rude. But business is business, I get that. Dick move and good-for-business moves aren't mutually exclusive.
- pycassa 14y agoso an independent guy worked so hard on a project for years, i should just let him be, and work on some thing else..
