Really, it's not becoming my favorite thing to name names in headlines. But in light of Mr. Fulgoni's deliberate (if lighthearted) provocations of online "direct response" lovers, we must fight fire with fire. Or at least, on this statutory holiday, fireworks with fireworks. When I read that comScore founder Gian Fulgoni yesterday told eMarketer that the "preoccupation with direct response"...
