I need some help to comprehend this... How is it that an article could come out yesterday and say while comparing online storage options that "Omnidrive seems to be ahead of the pack. It goes beyond storage to full read and write of files online, making it easy for users to share files with other users in a collaborative manner."
Granted, it neither recommends nor discourages using Omnidrive. Instead, merely speaks of what Omnidrive promises. I am not a tech blogger or a journalist... but to me I would assume one could easily research a service such as Omnidrive and find numerous discouraging articles in the past few months (check topix or google news). I know if it was me and I had done my research, that I could not in good conscience, without trying a service, recommend it to others.
Maybe a more experienced tech-writer hopefully could shed some light on what goes in to writing an article. Is it unfair to ask a journalist/blogger to research and refrain from recommending questionable services? I speak as a consumer and know that if I was a long time reader of a website and they spoke highly of a service I would blindly pay good money to use the service based on faith. I know because I did. I paid money within 1 day of testing to use Omnidrive based on a tech article written which praised the service. Luckily I did get my money back after weeks of pestering. I don't know, I think I am venting at this point... but is it unfair to ask a journalist/blogger to know enough about a service before referencing it in an article... or is simply visiting the company website's 'about' section good enough research?
The article I am referencing can be found here: http://www.entrepreneur.com/technology/managingtechnology/web20columnistfrankbell/article189742.html

Omnidrive shutdown their forum?
It looks like omnidrive shut down their forum... http://forum.omnidrive.com now just forwards to the main page... it looks like they are totally giving up on supporting their customers. they won't reply to emails, refund money, or provide forums... To me that says they are dead.... oh and enjoy fraudulent activity.

Is Support always slow to respond - uploading prob can someone help?
Support will never respond. This company is dead. They stole our money and don't care about providing a service. It is all one big joke.
