Last week I called out Packet8 for sending out what woudl make for better ad content but disguised as a press release, highlighting an offer wasn’t really as good as that from client Junction Networks’ OnSip. My guess is there are other deals out there as well that are better too so caveat emptor.
Over the weekend it turned into a war of words when a rebuttal post was erected by the CEO of Packe8. His post is a good example of how to use (or not use) numbers to tell your story, your way, regardless if the facts end up being accurate or not in his own online CEO’s journal. I also heard from a few readers and his PR person drawing attention to his views. My take, it’s all how you look at the numbers and how you decide what’s apples, and what’s oranges, but only to a point.
This prompted Junction Networks CEO Robert Walpov to do some math on his own as well, and write a response which shows that my math was right, and that somehow the numbers thrown up by Packet 8 prexy Martin were applied too liberally. read Rob’s post and see where things differ.
