Information Accuracy

Something that really gets to me is when you find very important but very inaccurate information, or even worse, an absence of or low importance placed on critical information.

The Great Site Ripoff

Every now and then the copy from our website gets, well, copied. One thing you can’t avoid when you appear near the top of Google for the term “Mobile Marketing” is being available for those researching that particular subject while doing their own website.

Web Illustrations

One of the issues we struggle with is visual representations of our services.

The stereotypical representation of a text message is some kind of mobile phone or an envelope on a mobile phone screen, the image is usually an icon or photo from one of the online photostock sites. The problem with this concept is its overuse leading to many SMS suppliers displaying remarkably similar icons or even worse, the same stock images.

So how can Giffgaff operate with no customer support? Well it’s not that difficult to image given the increase in use of social media and forums on the internet. The truth is when something goes wrong these days it’s often quicker to search Google for an answer than spending hours on the phone to customer support in a far off land continue reading Giffgaff Mobile Network

Continuing my obsession with pointless letters we receive through the mail, we today received one from our bank, the RBS.

Winning the ISP Wooden Spoon

It’s true we did win the wooden spoon in the ISP pub quiz. I would however like to raise the following:

We started out by saying there was only 2 ways to get noticed, win or lose. Unfortunately our general knowledge, particularly in respect of TV shows and random sporting events turned out to be pretty poor, and it’s something we’re not ashamed of.
