Calling it a "Strategic Partnership" right in the blog post seems so... business-y. Their whole brand is being Uber's cooler cousin.
Why not say "You can now use Lyft in China!", and go from there?
(EDIT: removed third-person stuff because it wasn't relevant to my point; thanks gkop)
- gkop 11y agoI'm having trouble understanding your point. Yes, using the proper name "Lyft" in describing themselves is the third-person, but that's exactly what you do in your suggestion. And the author of the post mostly uses the pronouns "we" and "our," the first-person, not the third-person.
- gkoberger 11y agoYou caught me going against my own complaint :) I guess the difference is that theirs refers to the company, whereas mine refers to the product.
- tedmiston 11y agoI see Lyft more as Uber's more frugal, down-to-earth cousin.
- marincounty 11y agoI view Lyft as the friendly, reasonable, still studying, humble struggling Actor. I view Uber as the demanding, narcisstic, dictatorial, know-it-all, spoiled, "I only want the green M & M's" Actor. Kinda kidding? I see too many desperate people buying into Uber's marketing, and buying that specific 4 door car, going into debt, and ruining their credit.
