I read it as an attempt to get press on the coattails of his competitors and the stance as intending to seem "scrappy". Color me an optimist but I don't think the intent was to spew bile.
- tylerlh 13y agoI believe you're right. I just think it's a piss-poor way to drive business.

- sridharvembu 13y agoWe respectfully disagree. Our Zoho Leads iPhone app was launched in under 3 months from concept to shipment, and it was done by 2 people and it is selling! We have a substantial degree of autonomy in the company (possible because we are private) which keeps us nimble. On David vs Goliath, Microsoft, Google & Salesforce are just 3 of the companies we compete with.

"pick a fight" http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch02_Have_an_Enemy.php http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch02_Have_an_Enemy.php. Sridhar isn't doing anything different, he's forcing people to pick a side, and guess what ... it usually works.
