»[request] Growing concern of News Items
I've added my comments to that thread, thank you.
"Fun" articles should NEVER appear on this site -- not if you want to remain the "bible" of the broadband industry. You've lost your credibility.
If you want to try to regain it, let me give you a suggestion, as a former publicist... Post an apology to your members and site visitors on the front page.
Quickly. And NOT from your PR person... From the top person as DSL Reports. A l'l "whoops" goes a long way.
All it takes is one major media outlet to run a story on DSL Reports making fun of their members and site visitors --and bottom line, that's what it amounts to -- and you're through.
People are very fickle. They'll love you with a passion on Monday, then on Tuesday -- you're dogmeat.
Just my 2¢.
Laura Fredericks
