why knallgrau is not an option.

recently, i was asked if i could recommend knallgrau as a company to host weblogs.

in fact, i can recommend their adaptation of antville called twoday (which is proprietary software built-around an open-source project).

but honestly: if somebody wants to host weblogs she could simply download antville and jump on the bandwagon. (on the other hand, the technical university of vienna was not able to do exactly that; don't know for sure what this says about the quality of an institution committed to educating technology.)

nevertheless, there was a much more important reason: knallgrau lacks integrity. a simple example can illustrate this: the company knallgrau never was involved in the development of fm4.

fact is, that the project manager referred to at this impertinent portfolio entry did some dhtml work (no management at all) for the fm4 site – at a time when neither knallgrau gmbh was funded nor ostleitner was a member of the company.

such kind of chuzpe is something i already got used to by knallgrau.
