Company
The famous quote from Lord Acton...Absolute power corrupts absolutely...is a good guide
to the list of companies that are likely to be the sources of the most numerous, and most
blatant, bloopers. Of course, the social networking companies are a big target, and we will
start with those as a group. The first individual company that seems to get more negative
comments than any other, and to be getting the fastest increase in number and amplitude
from vocal critics, is Google. Let us know who your favorite villain is and we will try
to add them in order of popularity; use our Blooper Jar or Contact Us page to tell us about
them.
But the curse of bigness is a theme that pervades American society. According to
a Gallup Poll on
Americans' Confidence in Institutions only the military is ranked higher than small
business and big business is 13th out of 16.
