i would argue for the opposite of this article - it serves the public's interest for successful companies to be known. we might want to become customers. we might learn something that applies to our business. it is a public good to know where power and influence lies. and it is good to know so others will compete with them. :) i think the reason why a lot of firms shy away from publicity is that if you're making money, you don't need people to know about it - can attract competition. a lot of the publicity heavy firms are profitless - they hope to make money based on users or attention.
