You would have thought that after yesterday’s efforts by the Des Moines online community to destroy TrustyPig’s reputation that something would have changed by now. And will you look at that. Someone has a new site design today!

Beautiful. A search on Google for trustypig reveals why that site design has been posted so quickly. To shut us all up!

That’s two separate posts by Andy Brudtkuhl followed by my post soon after. All three results following directly behind the link to TrustyPig. Absolutely gorgeous. Andy knows his SEO, and once he got us all organized and blogging, linking, bookmarking, FriendFeeding, we successfully disrupted the general order of things.

But I’m not prepared to shut up about this just yet. Yes, they’ve finally decided to change their site, but what TrustyPig did was still utterly despicable. If they are willing to steal someone’s site design, then obviously they can’t be trusted as a company. I haven’t investigated their services too closely, but whatever products they’re peddling, or software they’re encouraging you to download, DON’T DO IT. Who knows what sorts of things they might be secretly installing onto your computer. I won’t ever be back to their website, on the off chance that the site itself may even be infected. Their entire business model and method of operation just reeks of back-alley criminal activity, and I want to make sure no one becomes a victim to their idea of “business”.

I’m going to be looking more in-depth into their operations. Maybe I’ll find out something interesting, maybe I won’t. But rest assured, I’m not done blogging about TrustyPig.
