From their video: The presenter: "Why would you (the assistent lady) be interested in cars?" The assistent: "I'm the perfect chick to be into Masserati." It's a bit disturbing to see an employee presenting her personal life, kids, interests, and what not. Good job, IntentHQ!

Why is it disturbing to see someone who is open and not afraid of a bunch of kids and freaks on the Internet? :)

I wouldn't say it was disturbing, but it was definitely cringe worthy. A lot of their blog feels that way. They've gone for an informal corporate approach like using puns[1] and memes[2] as headings. Even that video felt badly scripted; like it was meant to sound like an informal pub conversation but instead it came off awkward and unprofessional. I'm sure their products are of the highest quality, but their blog isn't a great advert in my opinion.

  I have to say I have mixed feelings about the video. On one hand I understand there's a whole world of people out there, and I don't mind openness and honesty. Big thumbs to her for being honest and cool. On the other hand, it goes the other way when you're bragging about your awesome product that analyzes people's life and sells that info to corporations.

    You're assuming those details aren't made up ;) The privacy thing didn't really bother me because it's either fake data or she's consented to publishing real data about her - either way it's a considered decision. My issue was just how awkward the presentation was delivered. Maybe that could have been resolved if they used a fictional character like Homer Simpson? But then that would have it's own issues.
