We just launched a marketing campaign for Spaces called: "Dave vs. Carl". The concept is that Dave and Carl are two ordinary workers in an office who compete in a series of "events" to see who is the best. Examples of events are: milk chugging, riding tiny bikes, foam ball target practice, and more. …
Is there anything better than the CEO of a website (or any products company) coming out and saying that their goal was not to make money but to give their customers exactly what they wanted?
