Comment: Not even an RNS, just a lameass press release from the muppet crew in Blinkx's marketing department (does Blinkx have a marketing department, or was it something Chandratillake knocked up during a coffee break?).
So the company doesn't think it's worth releasing any news for shareholders about Zango/Pinball, we were told nothing about the disastrous fiasco of the Miva 'bid' which did so much to destroy both the company's share price and the management's credibility, there's still no sign of an iPhone app or a Facebook widget: and yet the company can find the time for a fluffy bullshit press release that sounds totally patronising ("to make the holidays happier – and less stressful – for all"), like it was put together by smug, arrogant assholes who are so far up their own backsides they no longer have the first idea - if indeed they ever did - what's a good idea and what isn't.
Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. If I needed any more proof that Blinkx desperately needs a change at the top, this is it...
this is a standard release from Suranga, as I am sure you are well aware. Yes, he does have a Marketing team, but Julia B and crew are not really "Marketing" per-say. Suranga wakes up, thinks "oh, we should highlight Holiday videos" and yells at Julia to churn out a release about said idea. Meanwhile the "Marketing" team is paid to troll blogs and Yahoo! Answers, with fake screen names and create posts intended to drive people to blinkx.com
