It's a context/frame-of-mind thing, I think.] Many people are emulating that type of ThinkGeek/Groupon writing these days, and…

A/B Testing case studies are good for two reasons: a) Help create curiosity on what the heck this A/B thing is (good for my product) b) Gives you ideas to test on your website But it is very dangerous to implement results without testing for your case. Very, very dangerous.
