Marshall Kirkpatrick at Read/WriteWeb broke the news about Amazon supporting Open Social. Well, except that maybe they're not.
The press release, though clearly a draft (not uncommon, PR people send us draft releases all the time), is dated November 15th. So 12:00 AM EST on the 15th arrived last night and I wrote up a post
Alas:
According to an email sent to one of our writers at 11:59 PM EST the night before one minute before the release time - they threw on the brakes.
After some followup:
I offered to post a different update if they'd like to send me a statement. I meant a statement from them.
They drafted a sample statement putting words in his mouth. Er, no.
I'll give the last word to a commenter, drew olanoff:
We need a series of small conferences/meetings where these big company PR folks sit down with us, talk about how we work, what our morals are, and then work with them to fit it into what they do. NOT the other way around.
Fix it now people, or you'll be completely ignored by bloggers not as nice as Marshall.
