I’ll wrap it up by saying this: if you want to build a responsive site, make sure you build it responsibly. If I am viewing your site from my iPhone, I don’t want to download whatever big images you have in your CSS for a 1000 pixel width browser and the smaller image you have in your CSS for a less-than 600 pixel width browser.

—Sucharita Mulpuru, a Forrester Research analyst, doesn’t hold back with an opinion of the former coupon darling (and one-time Google target), quoted in the devastating AP piece, Groupon’s Fall to Earth Swifter Than Its Fast Rise. Groupon’s in a quiet period at the moment, expected to file for IPO in the first week of November. The complaints charted in this piece are not new; they are persistent and seemingly valid (see also this less than complimentary piece from last June, The Checkered Past of Groupon’s Chairman). So my question: who on earth is going to buy this stock?? (via thoughtyoushouldseethis)
