During the all-important holiday season, an endorsement from Oprah Winfrey is better than a big old gift-wrapped box from Santa. You would think that Oprah endorsing a new product like the Microsoft Surface tablet would be a huge boon to the product, already struggling against tough and established competition from Apple, Google, and Amazon.
Oprah recently tweeted her love for the Surface, saying that she already purchased it for 12 people, and that it was one of her "favorite things" (aka, buy it for your loved ones).
What Oprah (or whoever may tweet for it, although I like to think its her) didn't realize was that her followers could see what program she used to tweet. That program was Twitter, for iPad.
Ooops!
It's kind of hilarious, if you think about it. Oprah praising a product using its direct competition. It's either a genuine lapse in judgement, or the delicious shade I have ever witnessed.
Hey, it's the holiday season, so let's just give her the benefit of the doubt.
FYI: The iPad was a part of Oprah's Favorite Things list when it came it too! Boop!
