I'm a guy who wants to cancel my Helium account but Helium is one of those arrogant (or short-sighted) companies that won't put an easy cancel option on your Account Settings page.
So, I'll just jack my profile so it reads this and let millions of people see it instead.
Personally, I don't think they have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding at Web 2.0 (or 3.0) if they can't something simple like this done right.
My real name is Lawrence Salberg and I live in Melbourne, Florida. So come read my blog if you want to read something really well.
In the meantime, don't waste your time writing for other people and let them make money off you with Google AdSense. Writer for yourself. Write for fun. But don't write for these guys (or anyone) unless they PAY YOU FIRST!
I intend to let this profile stay here forever now until they wake up from their fog and cancel it on their own. I should also blog about them (and all the other arrogant companies that do this nonsense), but who has the time. Let them die a slow death into the Deadpool. There's 1000's more right behind them.
My passion is ...
Working with solid Web 2.0 companies
I know too much about ...
terrible account setting options
My parents always told me ...
keep life simple. Cancel stuff you don't use.
My childhood ambition ...
was to cancel this account.
My favorite memory ...
was cancelling an account at... oh wait! I don't remember because it was so easy.
Why I write ...
is for my own enjoyment, not for others to profit from.
What I am reading/watching/listening to ...
The TOS at Helium. A nightmare. Don't read it, I must warn you.
My first job ...
was stocking shelves at Winn-Dixie. A night's work there was far easier than trying to cancel an account here.
My best moment ...
will be to see this account cancelled
My inspiration ...
is intelligent companies. Which is why I'd like to leave this one.
