BzzAgent, a network of regular-Joe brand advocates, is making a big bet that word-of-mouth marketing will outperform any other discipline when it comes to ringing registers and driving advocacy for brands.

The aerial photos, which show Germany before and during the bombing campaign, have been described as the most comprehensive record yet of the damage caused to the country’s pre-war cultural splendour.
The pictures, which have only recently come to light,

Watching the cloud of hype around last week’s release of the new iPhone, I was struck by the way Apple’s psychological influence over the tech industry continues to grow. I’m having trouble thinking of any recent technology product, let alone a smartphone

Many fortunes have been made by identifying and responding to a “gap” in the marketplace. Often, it’s a combination of something everybody does badly, that is an annoyance to the consumer, and the providing of a service that addresses it. Dominos’ deliver

Robots.txt has become a widely used method of controlling your site crawling. Thus it has become one of the first things I check when diagnosing on-site issues. While nowadays almost every webmaster knows its basics, some things still cause misunderstandi

Hank Shaw spent a day this week with my father and me, showing us how to smoke ribs on my kettle grill. As worried as I was that the ribs were going to end up dry, they weren’t, and they were the some of the best I’ve ever had. Here’s the process from Han

Is it just me or did AT&T have weeks if not months to prepare for the iPhone launch. The fact that additional phones had already been shipped with a scheduled delivery date the day after the iPhone launch points clearly to a planned shortage. Did AT&T re
-
The kicker for me though is the arrogance that Apple and at&t show to their loyal customers. Not only have I seen looooong lines everywhere the last couple of days. But no. Apparently Apple/at&t are not willing to sell to me. Period.

When choosing your smoking wood, choices probably seem limited, as most hardware stores stock and sell only the two most popular types: hickory and mesquite. But many grilling enthusiasts swear by harder-to-find, more exotic woods. We wondered if it was w

AT&T demanded a $750 deposit from Richard before selling him an iPhone, but couldn’t provide service because they improperly entered his address. Richard spent hours at the AT&T store trying to fix the mistake before deciding to cut his losses and recov

Oh, and that whole thing about getting to keep my current voice plan, they won’t do it. I am bait-and-switched into either a) walking out without iPhones or b) signing up for a $15/month more expensive voice plan.

So I finally get a hold of a store and they said, “Ya we have the new iPhones, we have plenty.” I don’t know who said this and why, because when I went down there they didn’t have any phones. I don’t know if the guy was just messing with me or i

I could’ve had one yesterday, or I certainly could have had one today. Instead, I have to wait for an *INDETERMINABLE* amount of time for AT&T to get the phone shipped out to one specific store. That could be a week, that could be two weeks, that could

What a crock.
If you are not an ATT customer, the iPhone 3G is $199
If you are an existing iPhone user, the iPhone 3G is $199
If you are an Amish Farmer, the iPhone is $199
BUT …. IF YOU ARE A LOYAL ATT CUSTOMER FOR YEARS AND WANT AN IPHONE 3G, the

Here’s where it all went wrong…She gets on the phone with AT&T and they said my phone was not active. She said Ma’am. I’m watching text messages come over his phone that you say is not active. It’s an iPhone…how could it not be active. It says

Current AT&T customers, who are not current iPhone users are not eligible for the reduced priced iPhone until their contract expires. I am getting penalized and not able to spend my money on a product I want because it has only been a year since I signed

Because I’ve been such a loyal AT&T customer all these years, I won’t qualify for a fully-subsidized upgrade until October. I could pay an extra $200 to upgrade now, but I cannot justify $200 for not waiting 3 months for a new phone. This is because som
