Comments on: New website for designers reaching directors http://www.clusterflock.org/2008/07/new-website-for-designers-reaching-directors.html a site about everything Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:27:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Savannah Spirit http://www.clusterflock.org/2008/07/new-website-for-designers-reaching-directors.html/comment-page-1#comment-212790 Savannah Spirit Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:29:18 +0000 http://www.clusterflock.org/?p=12342#comment-212790 Hi there, I'm Savannah, founder of veaux.org I understand completely wanting to remove us due to the marketing of veaux. The last thing I would want is for people to feel that they are being bombarded with marketers or something that might seem like spam. In all honesty, I wasn't sure what the protocol for blogging really meant. For that I really apologize. If I knew differently, I would have gone about it much differently. Veaux is something that I created to want to help emerging artists become known in the marketplace and to connect with each other and get work in the process. It's something I truly believe in and so does the veaux team. The team is very passionate to make Veaux a successful venue for these artists. I don't want my mistake to take away from that. If you look at the site and feel that it isn't what clusterflock or any other blog site wants to post, I understand. If you like it, I would...well...we would like another chance. My sincerest apologies, Savannah Hi there,

I’m Savannah, founder of veaux.org

I understand completely wanting to remove us due to the marketing of veaux. The last thing I would want is for people to feel that they are being bombarded with marketers or something that might seem like spam. In all honesty, I wasn’t sure what the protocol for blogging really meant. For that I really apologize. If I knew differently, I would have gone about it much differently.

I would have been fine if somebody was legitimately enthusiastic about their project and wanted to talk/post about it via Christopher Walken. This, however, reeks of a cut & paste intern job. I'm with Jason. It just cries out to be nuked. What gets me is that they didn’t even try to make it sound genuine or interesting like the tone of the rest of the site.

Undisclosed PR messages go against <a href="http://www.clusterflock.org/2008/04/christopher-walken.html" rel="nofollow">the spirit of the Walken account</a> -- specifically the "don't be an idiot" part -- and also the spirit of CF. Comes too close to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29" rel="nofollow">sock puppetry</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing" rel="nofollow">astroturfing</a> for comfort.

I think it raises interesting questions and I figured talking about it might be more useful, perhaps, than deleting it. technically, it is.

I had as well. I hadn't decided yet how I want to handle marketing materials from sites / companies that fall into the general clusterflock circle of interest. I think I was leaning toward making a post saying I would consider posting marketing materials if I felt strongly enough about the product / company. I'm not sure yet how I feel about this post showing up here, so I figured I'd open it up for discussion. so, this post raises a few questions.
