I’ve got to admit that I find this funny, sad and admirable at the same time. Fusion Garage sent this email to their only 64 JooJoo buyers – out of 90 pre-orders – exposing all their addresses:
Dear Sir and Madam,
Thank you for supporting JooJoo.
We hope to get your feedback about the JooJoo Tablet. Please revert back to us want you think of our product. Please drop us a line on how your JooJoo is working.
Thank you.
JooJooSupportTeam
Some will scream “privacy breach!” and they will be right. But the way I see it, it’s a favour to their customers. They are so few of them that they may as well unite and form a book-reading club or a bowling mini-league. Or maybe there’s no privacy breach at all because all of them are relatives of the owners and employees of Fusion Garage. In any case, it’s admirable that they are still trying to keep this going on.

Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 9:53 AMHi Everyone,
I’m with Fusion Garage’s PR team and I wanted to provide some background to you. The email in question was sent by a temporary customer support employee to a select group of customers. These customers were selected for participation in an ongoing feedback program because they had previously contacted Fusion Garage with questions or suggestions. This list in no way reflects Fusion Garage’s entire customer base. Sales have continued to grow after the public release of the joojoo. We’ve taken the appropriate internal measures to ensure this type of situation does not happen again.
Thanks!
