How social media saved my life

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

3 Comments

So the new social media business is up and running.  I’m getting some traction here and there, but I’ve started out slow, on purpose – I’ve always got a method to my madness.  I’m pretty confident in the long term, because I’ve got something no other social media consultant can even touch. You all know it’s coming. [...]

Now, AT&T falsely advertises Iphone upgrade in phishy email

Friday, October 16, 2009

My saga with AT&T over upgrading to Iphone just took a real bad turn.  Two weeks ago, a several hour ordeal ensued when I got the free phone AT&T sent me to replace my dysfunctional one.  I tried to activate the new phone myself with AT&T customer service, and the SIM card activation failed.  Now [...]

I’ve been giving some thought to my new social media practice, and how my background in politics fits in.  Two posts at my consulting website discuss the nature of the beast, and how Rovian politics compares.  What do you guys think?

AT&T gives me a new phone, free – because they won’t let me upgrade to Iphone

My saga with AT&T continues.  After I emailed this post, about how my current phone craps out every 45 seconds, to AT&T folks, I was immediately offered a complimentary brand new phone.  Awesome!  A sparkling new Motorola Karma is on it’s way, complete with a free car charger!  Now I don’t have to suffer any further [...]

So after I emailed AT&T’s corporate people about how I’ve been dicked around, guess what?  I got the cancellation fee for my unused data card refunded.  Yay!  Success? Not quite.  I’m still stuck with the crappy phone I signed on to hold for 2 years.  And it continues to malfunction in strange ways, like dying in [...]

I’ve hinted at some career stuff lately, and now seems the right time to make this announcement to my readers. I’ve launched a social media consulting practice this month.  Here’s my fancy schmancy website.  Why social media?  Aside from the fact that everyone is doing it lately?  Well, I already have a diverse set of clients [...]

I despise wireless providers, particularly AT&T

For all you morons who think leaving corporations unchecked and unregulated is somehow good for this country, just record your conversations with your wireless provider.  You’ll find it resembles a kind of torture mixed with shakedown.  If any sector could use some heavy ass regulation, it’s wireless phones. I bought a two year contract with AT&T [...]
