Comments on: Timbuk2 and Street Cred, Or Lack Thereof http://turkeydinner.net/timbuk2-and-street-cred/ this is turkeydinner.

I fully encourage the use of Upcoming.org or upcoming.yahoo.com, after all I use it as well, I wouldn't have had a chance to even see the event posting and I invite the irony of criticizing an organization that did sponsor an artistic event. I really have nothing else to say, my intentions were to call timbuk2 out as trying to gain street cred, which, I think the company is. It's my opinion and not even coming from the purest of sources, but hey, that's the nature of the net. But honestly, why use a PR firm, or an identity as such? Why not use your own account, or a timbuk2 account? It's social media and well, it just seems so disingenuous to see the author of the post as some corp entity meant to charge their clients exorbitant fees to post on free site.
