So, what do you guys think. Was this a net plus or minus for Sparkfun? They became a trending topic on Twitter, lots of publicity, lots of frustration.

I think it was a net plus because of the publicity. I figure I spent a couple of hours trying to get some free stuff and it didn't work out. No worse for the experience.

Saw some comments on Twitter about never coming back to Sparkfun because of the experience, but I bet they would never have gone there anyway and were only around for the free stuff.
