If you do build a great experience customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par it's our fault plain and simply.

The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough some of which go and others come.
Those who visit foreign nations but associate only with their own country-men change their climate but not their customs. They see new meridians but the same men and with heads as empty as their pockets return home with traveled bodies but untravelled minds.
