I wish that I could tell you about the crazy intro that I’m doing one of the training days next week, but it is top secret. Here’s a hint:
It’s crazy.
Other news:
If you’ve ever been annoyed by your cell phone minutes being wasted by voicemail instructions, David Pogue has your solution. The voicemail instructions are 15 seconds. That adds up if you actually listen to the whole pre-recorded message. Trust me, Pogue has done the math about how much that nets companies each year. He also gives instructions on how to beat the system-ish. (I already knew this trick. It’s called pressing buttons in a random combination. It’s how I could get E. Honda to beat Zangief.)
The phone companies have been threatened to stop their schemes (at least one of the schemes) and are being bombarded by Pogue’s readers. Pogue put a link to the different sites. T-Mobile got so swamped they created a special site for the Take Back the Beep! campaign. (Complete with filtering out any comments that mention the word ‘beep’.)
What Pogue’s calling for is smart mob action, like when protesters in the Phillipines took out the Estrada regime by coordinating with text messages.
I don’t think iPhone users have that voicemail instructions message, right? How will people know how to work this new technology called voicemail?
