Well, MT-Bashing is nothing new in the blogosphere.
If somebody guesses the company I will be SERIOUSLY surprised. Heh.

mr D, I thought the same thing: Six Apart. Sounds like them, right down to what their product is supposed to be “all about.”

isn’t it ironic when a company doesn’t take its own medicine?
i did a website for a small home-run business, and they somehow got hooked up with a web marketing person/firm. they emailed him and cc’d me, to ask if I could work with them to help their site’s rankings (tho I’d already been through most of the tech of it with them, they don’t listen and pay any attantion till they’ve paid 2 or 3 times to get to what I said the first time — different story though).
so I check the guy’s company website, and then tried every search term I could to locate his website/company via a half dozen search engines. I couldn’t find it.
Beware the internet marketing company who can’t be found in a web search…

I used to consult with companies who wanted to learn how to value those who gave them a chance in their infancy.
I found that if I got a 3 inch dowel and bashed the CEO’s head in, that the company re-adopted its creative roots and really grew.
And it made me feel better too.
That’s what’s great about consulting!
