biggrin What suprises me about this place

I am amazed this hasn't got more media coverage.

Even IBM's own advertising smart planet does not mention this project.

I find this bizar.

I have tried approaching various companies to get onboard
even if it ment just a little banner once ok'd by they're legal eagles and WCG's.

Just to point more home users to at least take a look.

Fair enough if they can't dedicate resources i don't expect that.

But the public uptake seems sluggish i look at the global stats
and it barely moves.

With a constantly growing world this has me perplexed.

I think to much focus is put on getting the job done don't get me wrong thats fine but we don't seem to be doing much head count wise.

What am i doing or more to the point what have i done?

Well what ever i could but it never seemed to be enough.

I try get air time were possible beit CB or broadcast better still hams.

But no one listens to me :)

This shows by the lack of new signups since my campaign.

Thats what really gets me these people who spend oodles on political party sponsorship etc and have nothing to show for it.

Whereas if they contributed towards all things WCG or hmmm
i wanted to say sponsor us crunchers or they're own team etc etc.

But i can see technicalities.

Not saying that things at HQ here are shabby not by a long shot but every bit helps.

And IBM how about promoting WCG via the media?

Surely we can get the headcount up i tried but failed i think hence just bought more pc's.

This substituted for friends quite nicely oops .... you didn't read that :P

Advertising WCG to the point of spam also turns off people... and do watch that mail junk folder ;-)

Re: What surprises me about this place

Most people are too selfish to consider some thing like this, I mentioned the WCG on two large forums and all I got were quips. And membership on one of the forums rivals this one, you can't brow beat people you can only inform and hope they have a heart.

the world is focused on spyware and identity theft, they are afraid of getting hacked.

apart from that they think it might interfere with their latest games smile

Re: What suprises me about this place

What if they simply don’t trust any computer sharing for it may be just an other scam from the government, like computers crunching for ECHELON for example?

Even I have questions some times.
