170368 2003-08-25 12:44:00 I hear from a very credible source that one major NZ company has been using these guys, sorry chimps, for a few years now and have even begun outsourcing their marketing and policy needs to this company. Their first major marketing effort was released on the NZ public just the other day and apparently has elicited plenty of comment in the IT community.

I just wish I figure out who that major company would be. Lets see, who is; big and probably a monopoly, stingey enough to pay in peanuts, wouldn't give a rodent's for what they foisted on the public, as long as it could turn a quick buck, think that 97% is close enough to the real thing. It's on the tip of my tongue :p

Cheers Murray ;P

The principle of skim reading PoWa, is to elicit the key facts and obtain an understanding of the skimmed material without delving into the minutia.

It does not mean only reading the little words and missing out the big ones. :p

Actually, I thought it was an extremely well done spoof with all the detail necessary for a genuine site, in fact it is better than some real company sites I have seen.

That's why I posted it.

You can see why kiwis get a bad reputation from the aussies about 'sheep'. Prime example this is :D
