Tech Company 101: When In Doubt, Form a "Coalition."
What do AOL, Comcast, eBay, EDS, Facebook, Google, Internet Alliance, Monster, NAi, NetChoice, Reed Elsevier and Yahoo! all have in common?
They’re members of the State Privacy and Security Coalition, which is deeply, deeply concerned about proposed privacy legislation in New York.
I think I read somewhere that they originally called themselves the “Pesky Gubmint Butt Out of Our Bidness Coz We’re Tryin’ ta Make a Buck Here Coalition,” but it didn’t test well, so they opted for preemptive brand dilution instead.
