I Get It But It Needs to Get Me

pgreenbe 26th Jan 2009

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response. You know I love you
guys and I get what you say. But the problem
isn't my unwillingness to participate. Its not
my choice. If this is in Facebook permissions
somewhere then it should be opt-in, not opt-
out. While I understand the randomness of the
choice of my picture, I have a brand in CRM and
my opinion seems to matter to some people, so I
don't endorse anything without considerable
effort. (see my blog posts on companies to
watch in December 08 and January 09.) I'm a big
fan of Hubspot and likely would support this.
But this has Facebook in a Beacon-like
situation again. My profile is leased to them
for commercial purposes but I still control it.
That has to be paramount and this breaks that
"rule." Again, nothing to do with Hubspot. It
can stay up as far as I'm concerned. This
really is a matter of principle. You guys rock.
This idea doesn't.
