Dog Eat Dog World
May 20th, 2006 | by Todd W |A couple of weeks ago I signed up with Switchpod to host my podcast files. Other than the crash they had a couple of weeks ago, they’ve been pretty good.
This evening, I get the following email -

Seemed strange to me, but before I could really look into it, this showed up -
Hi *****,Hello,
Some of you have recently recieved an email claiming to be from switchpod. We are in no way affiliated with shockpod. They are a competing hosting service that has tried to swindle our customers. I apologize for the misleading email.Switchpod StaffThank you,
Interesting way to do business.

The owner of Shockpod was originally part owner and founder of Switchpod, but Jake Fisher and Weina Scott kicked him out so they could make more money. Perhaps Switchpod should be a little more honest about their past to avoid conflicts such as this…
