Comment: A warning from online

If there is one thing that the latest twist in the Jamie Murray Wells Glasses Direct saga teaches us it is that the internet is here to stay and needs to be treated seriously.

Murray Wells' search for additional funding should also sound alarm bells within the traditional optical community. If the major retailers and industry find one young entrepreneur with some private backing a threat, how will they feel about the same idea being peddled by someone with real money to spend on marketing, promotion and retail systems?

You don't have to go far to find people who take an aggressive attitude towards Glasses Direct, what it stands for and what it is trying to achieve, but I have yet to see a single positive action in response to those perceived threats.
