SOPA & PIPA = my worst enemy

SOPA and PIPA are the worst ideas out there. They will potentially shut down millions of websites and let’s face it, most of us bloggers make money off our blogs, so thanks for killing our source of income! I could rant on and on, but I’m going to send you to Google and let them tell the whole story. Please make sure to sign the petition to stop these horrible bills!!!

Epic Fail: Christina Aguilera’s Star Spangled Banner

Okay, I am a wife of a former Marine. While I don’t normally post on these types of things, I felt I had to. This was sad. I couldn’t believe that she didn’t even get the words right, don’t believe me, watch the clip! Make sure to note the Green Bay Packers players reactions on this one! (look behind the coach!)

Epic Fail: Coffeemate’s free product coupon

So Coffeemate was hosting a coupon for a free bottle of Coffeemate creamer. They did everything right, created a Facebook Event, linked out to all the coupon blogger sites and etc. They were so good in their adverstising that they forgot one important thing…

Make sure you have enough bandwidth and etc to actually support the MASSIVE amount of traffic your website will get! So, the thousands of people who want the coupon can’t get it because

Server is too busy

which is what comes up at the page itself.

Companies get so wrapped up in the selling that they fail realize the implications of beefing up their server. Now people are pissed because they can’t get their coupon and they are hating Coffeemate because of it. I think that International Delights owes Coffeemate a big thanks for sending people their way! While it’s not for a free bottle of creamer, here is a coupon for International Delights!

If only companies would realize the effect of internet marketing and heed the warnings of us nerds!
