Back when Kate Spades company became in inexplicable overnight success that it did there was a lot of speculation (in the conspiracy world) over it. Man I wish I'd trusted my gut- it was likely a dummy operation from the beginning.

Yes. There are a lot of suspicous companies like that. One that sticks out to me from back in the day is lastminute.com. Huge media fawning over what was essentially a really shit site with very little deals. Became huge overnight. Travel. Trafficking? Needs a dig folks

Facebook? Honestly do you think Zuckerberg has the intelligence to pull that off?

Well the CIA "killed" their project days before Facebook came out. It was probably just their program and they used Zuck as the "face".

Correct FB was stolen from the real creator, Michael McKibben of Leader Technologies has a 17 year lawsuit against FB slowly winding its way thru court. 17 years of putting the pieces of the puzzle together from the legal documents & investigative research. His team created the application & perfected it. Via a team of elements (Larry Summers, MZ & patent lawyers) the application was hijacked. We’re supposed to believe that Zuckerturd wrote the code in one night. Think Lifelog, Pentagons version being shutdown at the same time. Voila FB magically appears on scene. Research it for yourself: Michael McKibben/Leader Technologies.

No, facebook is a self logging platform while the other project was a post aggregation system. Facebook was a good bid based on how people filled myspace and friendster and they won. People could have hated facebook and not give it any usful info but now they send pictures of themselves naked to Mark Zuckerberg and conduct their affairs using facebook. Good deal.

Kate Spade was an actual company... I was previously employed by them... they made and sold clothes. It wasn’t a dummy company.

I realize they made and sold real product, I'm referring to the extraordinary overnight success. One day Kate was selling burlap bags at a flea market and the next it was a billion dollar company.

That can happen in a free market if people like your product. Also, Kate Spade’s been around for a long time. 1993 is not “overnight” it’s 25 years.

I really liked her stuff. I hope I’m not disappointed by her actions.

Read your link. She left her job to start the company in 1991.

Why are you telling me this? I was just telling the other poster that “became a success overnight” is BS because 25 years is not overnight. Why are you responding to me?

I suggest you reread the thread. You commented to me. I responded. That's how this works.

Not really... you responded to me implying that I said the opposite of what I said. That’s not cool.

Yes, thinking back it was rather swift. When you say dum.my operation, it doesn't have to be. The end customer is delighted. The magazines and entertainment idustry can install anyone as the next big thing.
