Verizon Wireless - Things that make you go UGH!
More reasons to see big Telecoms as evil and out of touch....Verizon has started adding text message advertising to all photos uploaded from Verizon cellphone cameras to services like Flickr. What does this prove? Except how out of touch they are as a mobile carrier. Shouldn't mobile be leaders in mobile best practices? What do they expect to gain from this advertising. Is someone looking through my photos on Flickr supposed to read this badly written text and go - "hey maybe I should get a Verizon Phone?" This one gets the "Out of Touch" award" for the day. I wish Apple could be my mobile carrier. That says a lot - and I know that I am not alone in this. Mobile needs to understand that it is selling experiences - not phone plans - if you mess up the vibe of those experiences you can never expect people to jump on to new services.
