If you don’t buy the extended warranty it costs you just to call and try to get help. Apple is never about the customer but their own bottom line and not begin engaged with the customers about issues through social media shows this even further. Look at their policy about servicing you from the get go.

Every bad sale costs you five. Here’s some more food for thought: Every blog post or negative review costs you thousands of customers. Some will go the extra mile to share with their friends exactly why they’re moving on, too, so don’t make any missteps that will cost you business down the road.

Ultimately, there will be overhead “costs,&# such as monitoring your evangelists’ representation of your brand.

If we sell out we might make money but the cost is way to high. If we allow ourselves to continue without correcting the problem, sooner or later that internal conflict will undermine our efforts and we will be forced to compensate. Moral of the story: We need to be true to what we know to be right.

The simple fact remains that Twitter is taking a pounding on traffic and spam, raking up more and more costs with no revenue model. I hate to start over building the network, though, especially since it’s very likely that Plurk will have the same scaling problems. Once Plurk starts building up traffic, it may have the same problem.

Does the fact that their costs come in the form of materials and mine in the form of time make theirs any more ‘real’? I explained multiple times that I did, in fact, donate coverage and advertising space to good causes but that I did not feel a large corporate-backed, co-branded initiative of this kind was truly not for profit.
