To start with I am not a recruiter just looking for talented PHP developers to join my team. Secondly I am trying to understand why you (Daevid) think that it is acceptable to try and tarnish the name of my company when you don't even know us or the work that we produce. One wonders why, if you are so disinterested in working with us, you bothered to reply at all. As you've already made up your mind that Cyber-Duck is not a great company to work for this seems to be an awfully large waste of your time. I'm not going to spend hours going into the finer details of our business strategy with someone whose sole purpose in answering my initial email is to defame both myself and the company I work for. Cyber-Duck has an exemplary track record, backed up by a host of digital media awards and satisfied clients, none of whom have ever been put off by the name of the company or the highly proficient flash animations on our website. Thanks for the advice on buzzwords- obviously all non net-savvy potential clients want to spend hours trying to digest page after page of what, to them, are incomprehensible pseudonyms and abbreviations. Jealousy is an unattractive quality Daevid. -----Original Message----- From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:daevid@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 14 September 2009 22:53 To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Jerome Botbol Subject: RE: PHP GURU NEEDED I'm not trolling, but I am really curious who and why someone thought "Cyber-Duck" was a good name (and theme) to use?!? Seriously? Personally, I wouldn't work for a company with such a silly name. Is there some hidden meaning or is this a personal joke between the founders? I really am curious. http://www.cyber-duck.co.uk is even silly with animated duck-people. And I think you need to use more buzzwords and acronyms here "We produce brands and award winning user centered websites with superior web 2.0 technologies. We conduct online marketing to drive traffic and generate conversions." and "Cyber-Duck's ethos is that every interaction should have a meaningful purpose. For our clients this means that we focus on generating tangible results that are meaningful for businesses. For website users that means that we focus on generating a positive experience that will entice them to buy your product, sign up to your newsletter, comment on your blog or distribute your video to their contacts." Perhaps this page will help: http://www.robietherobot.com/buzzword.htm Also, why do you have (http://www.cyber-duck.co.uk/#duck%281%29) : 1 director 3 managers 3 designers 1 programmer <-- ONE?!? Sounds like a lot of chiefs and not enough indians. OMFG! They all use duck caricatures. If the name wasn't a deterrent, this thought alone would be. I will concede that the History duck -> manduck is clever. :-) *sigh* > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerome Botbol [mailto:jerome@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 10:38 AM > To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: PHP GURU NEEDED > > Hi All, > > Cyber-Duck are looking for a highly motivated PHP / CSS Guru > to join our blah blah blah... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
