Sprint hell

July 18, 2005 by Mitch Arnowitz

As I write this, I’m in Sprint hell. I’m now almost an hour into what I thought was a simple call and request (ha). Sprint made a mistake on my monthly cell phone bill. They actually billed me twice what I typically pay. I’ve now gone through 3 lawyers of support and they can’t credit me because I’ve already received a paper bill! Sprint tells me to document the individual phone calls that I don’t agree with and send them in writing. Are they kidding?

I’ve patiently explained that this is an internal Sprint problem and that they made the mistake. Does anyone know if I can port a cell phone number to a competitor? Will the customer service be any better?

A quick scan says that I’m not the only Sprint customer pissed off. More later…

RSS advertising

July 18, 2005 by Mitch Arnowitz

This comes from today’s Potomac Tech Wire

Washingtonpost.com Launches Advertising in RSS Feeds  

Arlington, Va. -- Washingtonpost.com, the Arlington-based website of The
Washington Post newspaper, said that it has begun including advertisements
in its RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds, making it the first major
news site to offer ad units in its syndication streams. RSS, which has
been actively embraced by the blogging community, is a method for
distributing content over the Internet that allows end-users to subscribe
to content feeds of various kinds. The company said that Friday's launch
is part of a campaign integrating RSS ads, online video, behavioral
targeting and standard ad delivery. More here.


I haven't seen the ads in my feeds yet-- has anyone else? I also can't find
a price or rate card for RSS advertising.

Fighting Words

July 17, 2005 by Mitch Arnowitz

Let me not be the first to point to the Washington Post Magazine‘s cover story; Fighting Words (free reg req’d or bugmenot). The politics of blogging is wonderful, afterall– this IS Washington, DC.

It might be nice though to find a place where Washington, DC business & blogging is discussed. Hmmm.Ph2005071401232
