Bingo! ding, ding, ding,.. We have a winner!



It's cause we stoopid up in here.



Lemme gives xzample...



In my world if something does not work right I don't use it. If it is a product for sale, I don't buy it. If it a service provided, I don't employ it. If I'm the producer of the product or the provider of the service and sales or interest is low compared to my competition, I look for ways to improve my product or service.

In this case itT was maemo.org's competition. In fact, based on the numbers that I could gather at the time, it looked like itT was spankin' the hell out of maemo.org as far as new user growth goes.

Now as I was saying, in my world if I was getting my buttocks handed to me by the competition I would, at the very least look at what works for them and try to emulate it. I would also look within and solicit customer or user feedback and make what changes I could to improve my product or service.



But that's what us stoopid people would do.



In this case maemo.org obtained the resources to acquire the competition outright. That way they don't have to change a dang thing. Pretty dang smart, eh?



Stoopid question: Won't the itT members complain about the problems they encountered before?

Smart answer: Make them all members of maemo.org and tell them that as members it is there responsibility to make the changes that they feel are necessary.


Another stoopid question: What happens if there are more active members now that originated from itT than there are active members originally from maemo.org?

Smart answer: Give itT members less status for their past contributions that way they can never affect the status quo.

Final stoopid question: If changes aren’t made to improve maemo.org now that it has absorbed itT, wont this create demand for another place for new users.

Final smart answer: __________________________________?
