Sony: We Told You So

Sony's badgering of Jason Kottke, that we posted about last week, has been taken to a new level.

We knew that many influential bloggers would come to Jason's side, and they have. But one of the most influential has started a boycott.  Jason Calacanis, the founder of  the blog publishing empire, Weblogs, Inc. has taken up arms against Sony. The bad news for Sony is that his network of blogs has some serious reach, and he's quite an influential blogger.

On his personal site, Jason Calacanis says the following:

"Perhaps Sony will never advertise with me again after I’ve taken a stance like this. You know what? I don’t really care. I loved Sony ever since I worked at 550 Madison, and if you treat the Sony brand and bloggers this way I don’t want your money. In fact, I’d be shocked if you could ever buy an ad on a blog ever again after this behavior. You really should be ashamed of yourselves. I’m very proud of my time at Sony, but right now I’m ashamed to be a Sony Alumni."

We hope Sony gets the point... They're  doing irreparable damage to their brand.
