This post is intended to start a discussion & help newcomers. For the next few posts, I will be taking current events to get a conversation started here. Let me know if I should continue doing this more!
As I’m sure a few of you have seen on the front page of Reddit either yesterday or today, a huge startup has been having a lot of website troubles which has been angering a lot of Reddit lately. The story is pretty weird & hard to explain, but If some of you don’t know the story, I’ll edit in a link later.
EDIT: Got a few messages so here’s the post that keeps updating the story as it’s going on. I’ll try to find some articles as the story develops:
This story resulted in them getting a lot of negative backlash from it, resulting in a drop of investors. What makes this interesting is that this same thing happened to Google: Link Here
Google lost their domain, bought it back, and nothing happened to them. Now an obvious difference between the two is that the startup’s site is down completely, as opposed to Google where they lost the domain for a small amount of time.
Points for discussion:
-
When companies have errors similar to the previously mentioned startup, is it safe to continue your investment with them or is that usually a sign that they might be incompetent?
-
When any sort of error occurs, is it better to react fast or wait until more information comes out? Or is that dependent upon what the misstep was?
-
Is Google a bad company to compare normal ones to since they may be impervious to most negative PR situations?
