Gemini version available ♊︎Novell Speaks About Its Trashing of YouTube
A week ago we noticed that Novell had flooded YouTube with its commercials. Two days later Novell wrote this post, acknowledging that this may all be coordinated by the PR department headed by Ian "Intellectual Property Peace of Mind" Bruce. Here it goes:
A while back Novell created a YouTube channel to collect and share some of the great videos that we create showing Novell solutions at work around the globe from Copenhagen to Cape Town.
That’s nice of Novell to admit that it rubbishes YouTube with the same disinformation that already floods many television sets. █

Um. Viral advertising is teh ebil if it comes from Novell? And this kind of advertising is news, how? And are other companies that do the same thing teh ebil also?
I love your aggregated links, but this Novell-hatred is getting harder and harder to understand

It’s not hatred at all, merely an observation.
For reasons we’ve been through before, such contamination of media with advertisements can be harmful. If Novell wants to advertise, then it can pay Google for it.
