Other than complaining about the mismanagement of the company, was there a point to this that I missed? It seems overly personal to me. The bit about the end about leaving the customers in the dark was perhaps the only part that made sense to write about publically. The rest only seems noteworthy cuz it happened to the author.

I could have written an entire book on the ridiculousness I experienced while working at Limewire, but that'd be in bad taste.

The point was to document what was going on, so that users of the MyVidoop service would make a decision about whether to stay or not.

As well, it was a post on my personal blog — kind of the point to be somewhat personal, right? ;)
