Call me skeptical, but this whole blog smells of a giant PR campaign.

Miraculously, in 30 days, the author will reveal that he has saved the dying company, thanks to the Internet.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a giant "subscribe to my newsletter" button very soon.

You're probably right. If so, please don't think any less of the 'hidden' company - they would simply be the one that got caught (a lot of successful companies have pulled of similar stunts).
