The debacle over posts by Whole Foods CEO John Mackey shows that message boards, relics from the 1980s, continue to thrive. And who's on them may surprise you
To say I was shocked was an understatement. Last week John Mackey, CEO of organic grocer Whole Foods, admitted that from 1999 to 2006, he had been anonymously posting messages to Yahoo's message board under the pseudonym "Rahodeb," praising his company's performance while knocking his competition and acquisition target Wild Oats. Shocking.... people are still using message boards?
