JoelGlaine,
Ok, now I get what you are talking about. Smith Micro at large and their aggressive marketing. I completely agree with all that being annoying. THEY ARE SPAMMERS!
And to break it down, I've only really interfaced with 2 people at SM and they have been extremely gracious and cool and really seemed to appreciate our collaboration. Has that turned into big sales for us, not to date, but it's always nice to be treated like you matter as an artist. I'm not saying that Rendo doesn't do that at any level but they certainly don't extend that courtesy to an artist such as myself who ranks down around 345 or so. Rendo simple cannot give that level of service to every rank and file merchant. Their head count isn't nearly where it would have to be to do so. I am simply asserting that to me, as a low level vendor CP is relevant and a nice laternative to some of the larger stores. Yes their new site is aweful. Does that mean that they need to F off and die, not in my estimation.
I really have no insider knowledge of their aquistion policies so I will have to take that at face value. It's entirely possible that they as a company are vicious. I can only jude them on my personal interaction with them and that has been very positive.
Regards,
Brent
