Carbonite Competitors

I have given thought to using Carbonite. This event helped me make up my mind. Thanks to this controversy I have learned that Carbonite is losing money and has never made money since going public. They also have a number of competitors. Two are Sugar Sync and IDrive, both of which provide 5 GB of storage for free. This is more than most people have on their computer hard drives. I believe that a lot of Carbonite’s customers are Rush listeners because of the size of his audience. I think they will lose a lot of them over this; it could cause a very bad cash crunch for a company that has negative cash flow.

I also sent an e-mail to Pro-Flowers who I have used a few times to remove me from their mailing list.

Like Money Runner, i have advised Proflowers that our family and friends will no longer be using them. My family is also using Carbonite that we will be moving on to a competitor when our subscriptions expire. We also will be encouraging our email contacts to do the same.

So these guys get on Rush's bandwagon to cash in on Rush's audience, and now show so much moral indignation over two words. Can we say cowards? Good to see that two can play this game.

I was delighted to find so many
others have also dropped the "offfended" Rush advertisers. The money they've saved by not advertising with Rush could be used to buy the flake, Fluke,a generous supply of rubbers and pills.
