You may remember the case of Sisense elegantly boycotted under the pretext it is an Israeli company. Not everything went bad after the case went public. First they got great coverage in the marker yesterday (thanks Guy Grimland). Second, they had a great idea: simply complain about the employee's attitude to the main mail of the company. Result : they immediately got an apology from their PR director and from their CIO (who is actually working with many israeli companies) who precise this is not expressing in any case the company's policy. And in addition they are right now performing an internal inquiry (not sure what it means).

" They're more about keeping tabs on your friends; we focus more on community and meeting new people based on the places you go.

Google -- as the new tech titan on the block -- also is susceptible to being perceived as a bully. But in a wide ranging interview with TechFlash this week, the leaders of Seattle's Google operations say they are working hard to foster relationships with entrepreneurs and venture investors. Perhaps they are attempting to avoid some of the pitfalls that Microsoft encountered during its rapid growth years in the 80s and 90s.

Aaron Patzer is the CEO and founder of Mint.com , a personal finance site that helps 900,000 consumers keep track of their spending. Mint’s data is a snapshot of the consumer economy.
