    Harman Advertising

    I was checking a thread of mine over at another site, and this popped up at the bottom. It's clearly an Everest for those in the know.

    There's that suggestive little JBL logo in the lower left corner. Clicking anywhere on the advert takes you direct to http://www.jblsynthesis.com

    The fact that the thread is about my Synthesis® install is probably coincidence, but it's sort of cool to have the synchronicity nonetheless.

    Well, at least they spelled Harman correctly!

    I just figure we may be the first defense in a thankless world ...

    No, but this message
    "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"
    Nevertheless I found TiDomes thread - without "Hear it" advertisement.

    Here's a more complete view for posterity. It shows the link to my little site.

    I got some dropped images at the Synthesis® site, too. It would be good to have the link work the first time. After all, visitors will judge your product by that first Web site impression.

    Just got the bad request message also. Since advertising JBL products is so novel to Harman, maybe they didn't realize that effective marketing might just actually drive traffic to your site???

    "Hey guys, look - it really works! We're getting so so many hits we can't accommodate them...Yay!!!"

    Talk about bad show for your flagship product line. You would expect them to have a working site, after all the online advertising they've been funding.
