Customer service should transform to self service

What the hell was I thinking? I live in Cottonwood. The only two places to get office chairs?

  • Wal-mart: 2 chairs way over priced no adjustable features
  • OfficeMax: a bunch of chairs, only one that I would have wanted. Was willing to pay the $179 to get something of relative quality and feature set. I take the ticket to the register. Dude goes to get chair. Stops to talk to chick walking in the store. Stops to help another customer. Finally, 6 minutes later brings up chair in box on dolly.Customer service does not equal OfficeMax Box literally looks like it had been dropped off the truck at 60 MPH. I say could I get a box that doesn’t look like this? Dude says they all pretty much look like this. I say good bye and leave.

Advertising is great for companies. Too bad the people they employ don’t get a copy of the marketing materials to learn how to provide decent customer service. Geesh!

Howard and Lindsay are a riot!

My apologies for being a supporting cast member in the echo chamber, but viral dissemination is a part of the coming age of all things Open Social, Web 2.0, yadda yadda yadda.

Good thing I have a wireless keyboard, cause I am typing this post while finding myself on the floor after having LMAO (not literally, however. I still have plenty of “A”, so don’t cry for me, okay!?!)

Twittering the Dog!

Now, I’m not saying definitively that the question asked during the press conference was definitely mineMy tweet to Scoble, however, when Robert Scoble sent out a request for questions Scoble’s Twitter reply on Twitter I responded to him pretty quickly. As did a number of others.

I guess my question actually did get asked! Technology is sooo cooool!

(follow up)Looks like Znet is getting in on the conversation. Coolness.(/follow up)
