I found a few "lists" of this nature on the internet. But they don't provide links or dates, so it is hard to check up on their veracity. I suppose the next round of unemployment numbers will tell us how hard it really is.

HA! Papa John's is in paranoia overdrive. How do I know this? Good ol' Google Analytics! Among many other things, it tells me via which ISPs my website visitors arrive — Comcast, Covad, RoadRunner, AT&T, etc. But large corporations are, in effect, their own ISPs, and show up as such on that page.

I check my analytics every morning to see what the traffic is, what pages are visited, bounce rate, referrals, etc. And this morning, on the ISP list, there it is: Papa Johns International, Inc. shocked



This tells me they're crawling all over the web to sample public opinion, and in some cases, they're tracing search results to their points of origin. I've been pretty vocal a/b this issue on Facebook, and sure enough, under the Referrals section in the Traffic Sources report, FB was on the list.

Looks like someone at Papa John's cut the cheese! laugh

If they are "watching" us then my vote is in. If it truly only costs them 14 cents a pizza, my vote is in. No Papa John's (and as others have said, I love PJ) until they do right by their employees and keep their employees and give them health insurance.

In fact, the actual cost would be less than a nickel per pie. Can't find the link right now, but I'll try to locate it later. In the meantime, looks like they've got a new topping that's gonna cost 'em big time: SPAM!

Piece o' work, that guy. smirk
