“each morning for over eight months I woke up and decided that the next morning would be the day to send the Stiglitz box.”

First the bad news: If you’re going to calculate the ROI of your social media campaign, you’re going to have to know math.

In a statement sent to users Wednesday, Tencent said “Dear QQ users, this email is to inform you that we’ve just made a very difficult decision. Until Qihoo 360 removes the tag-on service and malicious slander against QQ software, we have decided to stop running QQ software on computers that have installed the 360 software. We are fully aware of the inconvenience this may cause you, and we sincerely apologize for it.”
