Your swine flu press release and posts feed on fears and misfortune (much like a vulture). Poor timing, Mikogo team.

Do you think contributing to the unnecessary hysteria surrounding this outbreak in order to make a few more bucks makes you a good corporate steward? 35,000 people in the United States die of the regular seasonal flu every year – and no one would capitalize on those deaths by using the type of inflammatory language you’ve used below in order sell a product. I think you should be ashamed of yourselves for using this fear-based messaging. I will do my best to NOT use your product because of your choice to scare the hell out of people in order to increase users. The “global disaster” inflicted by the swine flu???

This is serious stuff and people are dying. There are a lot of other great reasons to use your product: this should not be used for prmotion.

I see the benefits clearly, but your press release and message could have been more tactful. I think it is distasteful to use the threat of a pandemic to promote your product.
