Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 12:09 PMDumbest idea ever. Take a ‘trusted site’, act like it’s infected with spyware, ask people to click links.
Are you people morons, or just 12 years old? I hope your advertising click thorough plummeted.

If gizmodo wants to prank me by pretending they’ve suffered a security failure of epic proportions and pretending they are untrustable, well, then the only person who truly loses is them.
I just switch to engadget.

Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 5:10 PMperhaps the courtesy of an article saying we apologise for our own bad taste and disrespect of our readers may have helped. But maybe it was a fantastic marketing success beyond me. I personally have already changed my homepage to Engadget. I am sure that the advertisers will be disappointed in readers changing their homepage. Imagine that, building a trust basis where people choose to make your blog their homepage so they can read it 3 or 4 times a day. Personally i’d write an apology for the monumental **** up.
