Topstartup has been sparse recently. Not necessarily because I am not blogging, more because I am really busy and blogging elsewhere:

Over my life as a blogger, I’ve written several articles specifically naming companies. Whether it was my Silverleaf Resorts, Westgate Resorts or Answerstop Voicemail posts on my old blog. Or my post yesterday on Ameriprise Financial. The question is, how should companies respond to criticism (warranted or unwarranted) from the blogosphere. Read the rest of this entry »
