Absolutely destroyed credibility. I just wonder why investors (besides Meyers who's actually not an investor in financial terms) or clients keep silent? No word of support and encouragement yet!

The spinvox blog was a mistake yesterday. The notion that it could somehow refute the claims in the manner it was written is a lesson well learnt. It has added fuel to the fire which was dwindling, it now looks like a firestorm..

I've always respected JW, and to some extent SpinVox (I can appreciate if nothing else the work they would have done to get even the carrier intergration sorted out)... For me the real issue is that SpinVox sounds like it's in real financial trouble.. Further investment - good money after bad? Or call it quits? Aquistion target for someone to come in and buy the carrier relations on the cheap? This is a bit of a storm in a tea cup from my perspective..
