Carbonite CEO David Friend has decided that meeting with Rushbo on Monday won't change anything. So he's pulling out now:

A Statement from David Friend, CEO of Carbonite:
“No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”
If you check the comments on that post, you'll see that some wingnuts are now threatening to pull their business from Carbonite. If you're looking for backup services, Carbonite's a good one and they sponsor progressive talkers like Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller and Thom Hartmann--talk radio is a major component of Carbonite's ad strategy, and they advertise across the spectrum.
I would have updated my existing diary but it's scrolled off the page. Friend had been called so many names in that diary's comments I wanted to make sure people see this.
6:50 PM PT: Rolling Snake Ball and I were writing diaries probably at the very same moment--it wasn't there when I started, anyway. :) His got rec-listed here: http://www.dailykos.com/...
