As if things couldn’t get any stranger, StrangelyPerfect.tv has recently dug up what must be the “stock buy” of the century where he reveals a surprising turn in the amazing story of Pacific Webworks:
Here’s a link to a screenshot Strangely has provided:
Is Pacific WebWorks the next Google-Killer?
Here’s what Strangely says about the screenshot:
“Q. So why the screenshot?
A. Check out to the right of the screendump. You’ll see a section labelled “Competitors Compensation”, meaning something that the Business Week website sees as a competitor for PWW. It then goes on to list the salaries of the CEOs etc of these “competitors”"

This may explain why Google is allowing Pacific WebWorks to continue advertising on Google Adwords despite the claims that PWW perpetuated “Internet scams on unsuspecting consumers using the trusted Google brand” and have engaged in a “Scheme To Defraud The Public Using Google’s Marks”.
It also may be the REAL reason Google wanted to co-operate with Pacific Webworks.
All this nansy-pansy nonsense about Google trying to track down the identities of the “John Doe” websites as a reason for entering an agreement with Pacific Webworks is an OBVIOUS cover-up.
The real reason OF COURSE because Pacific WebWorks is positioned to completely knock Google off it’s rockers and become the next BIG search giant!!!
I still don’t know what’s gone on twix Google & PWW (who does?), but what is obvious to me is that the much trumpeted analytical systems behind Bloomberg (publisher of Business Week) are pants.
Bloombergs, the finance news service, is one of those companies that forces “opinion”…. It’s owner is the 8th richest American according to Wikipedia, which obviously, in the public mind, makes him and his company knowledgeable about all things financial…. This serious error in judgement on the public’s part is how Bloomberg forces opinion, and thus was one of the key elements behind our current financial crisis.
Bloomberg and his computing systems are therefore NOT good judges of financial character. The only thing that Michael Bloomberg is good at, is making Michael Bloomberg richer, and all his pronouncements and business activities should be seen in this context.
The PWW thing I spotted is just one tiny aspect of this. Even so, it’s a clear demonstration that the Bloomberg “knowledge base” is seriously flawed and should not be trusted. All Bloomberg stuff is mere comment, after all, not expertise.
Nice “tongue in cheek” stabs, Paul. I got it.
Sorry Paul that this is still PWW off-topic, but here are two news links from TODAY illustrating my point about Bloomberg driving public opinion…
Bloomberg’s headline article says: “U.K. Unemployment Claims Jump to Highest Since 1997″
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=awg_6cu8ABhY&pos=1
Meanwhile, at the BBC, it interprets the same figures as: “UK unemployment sees slight fall”

Of course, this is the old argument, neatly summed up with the expression “there’s lies, damned lies, and statistics!”
@Strangely Perfect: Horrors. Someone thinking for themselves.
Come on. Pick a side!
I’m siding with PWW because that’s where the smart money is and because version 5 of their snagware promises to be a world-beating killer-app!!! (according to their CEO)
zzzzzzz
@Strangely Perfect: LOL! “World-beating”.
