I think that these “money bloggers” are calling each others scams out merely to gain credibility and trust from readers…. so they can turn round and SCAM THEM THEMSELVES.

It was a dick move and I’m glad someone aired him out for it.

Andy, you drive a very good argument. I agree that the Cow does indeed copy ideas but he does improve on it and adds he’s own style. I also agree that the Cow is indeed lucky, very lucky to have hit an instantaneous fame because of his parody blog of the beef himself, John Chow. When I said the cow was a good marketer, I was referring to his back door gift to Chow’s daughter which got a front page from Chow and loads of exposure.

Anyway, I admire the Cow’s humorous style and hope the best for his MEW project. But you won’t see my buying from it though.

(This has nothing to do with my views posted on both Tyler’s and Cow’s sites about the mascot at all - I sided with neither both before or after the argument: I played merely played devil’s advocate against Cow and then in light of Tyler’s admission, liked neither his profiteering nor Cow’s pre-judging.)

But - unbiasedly - Cow is NOT a good marketer: he simply sees a good idea and copies it nearly pixel for pixel, word for word, concept for concept. In any other industry that is copyright violation - imagine if there was a drink called Pepsa with the same blue and red logo, typeface and taste as Pepsi. They’d be sued to hell. Cow is just lucky he works in the only industry where normal copyright law doesn’t properly apply yet.

He has never had a good original idea and only markets copied ideas in the exact same way as the entrepreneurs he copied.

No, I haven’t. And I don’t plan to. I don’t understand what’s with all the hype about it. Well, actually, that’s what it’s all about - Hype.

But you have to hand it to the cow, he’s a very good marketer.

Have you bought a MillionEuroWiki page? I hope not…
expensive product sold by the Cow and worth nothing…
