What happens when politician doesn't pay his bill? This.

I find it odd that I can't find anything about BornDigital on Google. A web design firm without a website? Also, they spell their name differently on the page ("BornDigital" and "Born.Digital")- something seems off to me.<p>=======================<p>Here's the official response, by the way (via <a href="http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_181227.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_181227.asp</a>)<p>"This former volunteer did, during the early stages of the campaign, assist with website construction and maintenance on a strictly voluntary basis as no contracts or agreements were ever entered into. This is not uncommon, and FEC guidelines do not require payment for these types of services.<p>"For a variety of reasons, this volunteer is no longer with the campaign. Several months after this volunteer departed the campaign, he sent a bill for more than $30,000 for his previous volunteer work.<p>"We do not owe this volunteer any money, and we are currently hosting our full website at votetimgobble.com.

I'd redirect the page to his opponent. Admittedly, it's unprofessional, but a lot more fun.

I think this tells you all you need to know about BornDigital:<p>&#60;meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.1" /&#62;

Lesson: take control of your domain. When someone leaves the team, change the auth keys / passwords to servers / facebook / twitter accounts, etc.

While this strategy might put pressure on this client to pay this bill, the long-term damage to this firm could be quite high. I would never hire a vendor who airs grievances in public like this, and although they may need the cash now and not have the luxury of thinking long-term, this doesn't seem like a good way of brand-building.

The candidate placed third in his primary - so it's not looking so good for the firm.

Nice to know that is the first result when they google his name.<p>edit: Why was I down voted? If someone screws you, you wouldn't want other people to hear your side of the story?<p>edit2: Seems like gkoberger might have dug up details that make it seem like a shakedown.

BornDigital clearly doesn't understand basic SEO.

Striking a blow against jerk customers who don't pay their bill, I like it.<p>Also, obligatory "lol, Gobble"
