- Apple Computer learned that viral marketing works both ways. After many iPod MP3 player owners were treated shabbily when their rechargeable batteries died, two brothers created a video and site about their own experience. Initially refused a battery replacement, they tried an after market product, which wound up killing the iPod. They even sent the iPod to Apple CEO Steve Jobs with a note. Apple did eventually change its tune, allowing for less expensive battery replacement, but the damage is done. |
