Oh, hey, yeah, I'm going to "stage an intervention" to get people to switch to the company that's going to yank their email with no human to complain to, whenever they feel like it.
This is ham-handed and frankly not nearly as funny as I'm sure it seemed on campus.
- 9999 15y agoYeah, cringe inducing.
- gallerytungsten 15y agoMakes you wonder what happened to "don't be evil."
- Vivtek 15y agoWell, I'm pretty sure this would be covered under "Don't be naive", actually.
- dredmorbius 15y agoTruth to tell, AOL's customer service is hardly superior. If you want premium levels of email service, then sign on with a premium email service provider.
- Vivtek 15y agoYou know, I don't really care about AOL - but I normally wouldn't find this little Googlism all that much a hot-button topic either, were it not for this mess surrounding Google+ right now, including the deletion of a child's Gmail account when he gave a truthful date of birth when Google invited him to Google+. Which is to say, you're not wrong, but maybe not seeing the point I was going for. Google's drawn my negative attention an awful lot lately in terms of whether I'd feel comfortable recommending them to somebody who had somehow remained untouched by Google, and I found the "intervention" conceit to be going too far in terms of tone-deafness.
