BBB: interesting blog post

It's funny (or very wise of Don) that we were just discussing the usefulness of the BBB. Check out this blog entry regarding Kodak's recent disassociation from the BBB.

Abi,

Great find there. My opinion is that the BBB needs some new blood. When I noticed your post of the ecomnext blog I noticed you couldn't link to it. Try this.
ecomnext

This will make the blog linkable

Oops just make it a href= around the url.

Fixed your link Abi. Yes, it is possible that the BBB is becoming redundant. With social software, such as the one that makes this blog possible, the market may indeed be "self-correcting." Personally, I was once the victim of fraud. Before it happened we checked to see if there were any complaints against the company. There weren't. We did later, and we participated in a class action suite, but we never recovered our money. The BBB did nothing for us in that case. Time will tell if the BBB has run it's course or not.
