13Donuts - About Us |
|---|
Our Name and Logo: |
| When I played little league baseball, there was a kid on our team whose father owned the local doughnut shop - tons of free snacks for the team at practices and games. His father's motto was always "give them more than they expect and they'll always come back for more" - he'd sell donuts by the dozen in his shop and always give you an extra one to walk out with. Here, we try our best to follow that model. We strive to deliver more relevant information than you expected, along with high quality writing and graphic elements that are logically presented and always up-to-date. We hope that you get the best deal for you by being better informed. And, as you leave our online "shop", we hope you feel like you got 13 donuts! |
Our Aim: |
| With well over 1,000 new site visitors each day, 13Donuts is a leading provider of consumer information regarding Satellite TV covering both DirecTV and DISH Network. We're based in Florida and we work hard to bring you unbiased, factual information that's relevant and is not a sales pitch. We hope that the information that we provide allows you to quickly and thoroughly draw your own conclusions about which Satellite TV service provider is the best choice for you, for your own home. |
What We Do: |
| We're a small team - reviewing, editing and developing the website - and keeping current with
the details of the products and services we review. Honestly, it's enjoyable work and the
testimonials and many emails that we receive tell us we're
helpful to many people looking for Satellite TV information.
13Donuts is one of several different web properties we've created - each centered on a different themed family of products. Collectively, the different sites are under our holding company, RhinoFish Media. |
Help Us Improve? |

contact us.
If we use your suggestion (and if you provided your email to us), we'll drop you a line with an offer a free 13donuts gift as a thank you. |
Our Stance On Email Spam: |
| We detest email spam and deceptive marketing techniques - we're people, just like you. We think pop-up window advertising and email spam was invented to be aimed at us personally - we get tons if it and we think it stinks. We also believe that it's ineffective and annoying - we never use it. We dislike email spam so much that our own bylaws have a no-newsletter, no-email-list, no-sign-up, no-opt-in, no-email-collection, no-unsolicited-emails-sent clause in our charter. We're not here to annoy - our goal is EXACTLY the opposite of that. Our contact forms ALL have the email field as an optional field - we only need your email included if you are requesting a reply - and the only use of your email is for us to reply. We also have a strict privacy policy because we believe that stealing information is just like stealing money - it's a crime and it's wrong. |
Our Stance On Spyware And Parasiteware: |
| We have received a few complaints that we launched a pop-up ad window on a visitor - it shocked us the first time we heard it. While easily demonstrated to be untrue by reviewing the code of our site's pages (right click any page and View Source - there's no pop-up advertising code anywhere), it concerns us enough to explain further. A pop-up ad window can come from one of two places - the website you're visiting -OR- from rogue software that's installed on your computer. If you're using a Windows-based Computer, we recommend you try Microsoft's new Spyware solution for battling this problem. In addition to throwing ads at you and making your computer run slow, these Spyware, Adware and Parasiteware computer programs (that often find their way onto your computer using deceptive installation practices) threaten your safety and security as explained here by Microsoft. |
