Why do you speak so much of the loss of customers?? Do you know specifically who they lost and how much revenue is at stake?
Wouldn't making info that specific public be illegal? At any rate it was apparently enough to file a lawsuit over.
You also fail to mention new deals such as Nynex
The Nynex deal, that's one of those "dial this free number to listen to an audio tape of last night's scores with a short ad imbedded within to try to make up the cost" type of service like those that have been available in most major metro areas since the 80's, were popular for about a month, then were basically forgotten about, right?
and the job hunting service.
And that "job hunting service" is a joke. Go over and check it out for yourself if you don't believe me. localsource.net Let's see, three metro areas (none of the real biggies either), and about a dozen companies per area (with much overlap). Big names, to be sure, but I doubt they promised to actually hire anybody through that service. And you can "apply online", so to speak, but every company, almost without exception, provides instructions on how to apply which notably exclude filling out the form at LocalSource. There were better placement services on the Net back in the days of Gopher for crying out loud. Where is Mirsky's Worst of the Web when we need it?
For someone who supposedly has an open mind it seems pretty closed to me.
Open mind, insert foot. |
