E-cards fail to come through

from the Get-a-clue dept

Egreetings.com, Hallmark.com and others all had delivery and display problems of Valentine's Day greetings on Monday. The CEO of eGreetings.com said the type of demand could not have been anticipated. You know what? That's a fireable comment in my book. If they can't hold up on key holidays, what's the point?

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Wait a sec...

    Dan, aren't you the same person who said people should just suck it up and stop complaining about delivery problems over Christmas? But, now a site can't handle traffic and the CEO should be fired?

      Yep, and I stand by my comments. The CEO of Toysrus.com didn't say something idiotic like they couldn't have anticipated the orders. He said they screwed up. The CEO of eGreetings.com's comments were ignorant.
