Is Vonage learning relationship marketing from Pay Per Post? Nope. They have lowered the bar further that PPP has yet to contrive. Apparently Andy listed 18 friends in a one-time referral program back in 2004.
Since then, Andy writes, "Vonage crossed all lines of good taste, privacy, and ethics. They send a mass email to my friends -- USING MY NAME -- in a shameless promotion. In fact, my name was used in the email 3 times, as if I had endorsed the message and gave permission to use my friends' names.
Why is it that half of the really ugly marketing ethic violations stories I know, seem to involve telephony companies?
