Arrgh! That 500 times quote is from a guy whose firm’s tag line is, "Tomorrow’s Media, Understood Today".
I think he’s still trying to understand 90’s media. eeekkk!
Ha ha. The offending ’500 times’ quote seems to have been removed from the original article. Someone must’ve got their wrists slapped.
Great find Nick. I’ve updated my post to reflect this. I’m glad to see they were pro-active and removed the bad information. I just hope there weren’t to many that have already read the original and been affected.
Thanks Justin. It’s a good post. Thanks for the link too ;)
Cave dwellers. Leave ’em alone. Do not disturb.I did recently see a discussion about a site that had 10 000 words in the title tag. Hilarious.
