Be Careful What You Say
from the tracking-the-talk dept
An interesting look at the way John Chambers' quotes about how well Cisco is doing have changed over the past two months and why it's important. Since Cisco is considered the "top dog" anything that's said is listened to very closely. So, the fact that his tune is changing probably isn't a good thing, and investors and others may be getting pissed. When you're in such a position, people tend not to forget what you've said in the past.
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
