BIRT spam plan to take over the world.

August 30th, 2006

The spammers are getting deperate for Eclipse developers attention.

Lawsuit maker wenfeng li used to declaim to be NO.1 business software vendor by 2006.Right now,he can declaim that BIRT to be NO.1 business intelligence software by whatever year he want to be. As long as he continue to grab big check from Actuate, he can declaim whatever he want to declaim.
Wenfeng li's business strategy is that let's do it. Let's hire more people and get rid of people I don't like quickly. Eventually, let's add version number and declare a success.
The trend is "Express". Let's call it BIRT Express next year.

Or that could be the most cunning and devious business plan I have ever seen (‘excellent’, as Mr Burns would say). Watch out BIRT competitors!

    How did you get this?

    Umm, I got it via email. I’ve also received several follow up emails (that I’ll not repost) from the same address along the same lines.

    Getting a bit tired of them at this stage…

    How do you feel about the BIRT “success”?

    I posted the original email in order to highlight the utter stupidity of such attacks (i.e. I do not endorse the content in any way).

    I have no opinions on BIRT or those behind it – business reporting is simply not my domain.

    Wenfeng li grabbed a lot of people in China to do that…
