I think thats exactly the plan, he's not going slow as far as I saw he's on schedule, but taking into account that he's going to put in longer hours and higher mileage in the summer http://oneyeartimetrial.org...

OK I didn't want to get into a debate but I guess you just attract them ;)

So in your dealing with Social Media you advise customer support channels not to engage? Approaching someone who is dissatisfied about their product is bad service? What!?

Maybe you read that tone as negative and against everything you said I didn't but as I wasn't pissed off with Microsoft at the time of reading it then maybe I didn't have your eyes. Sure maybe they could have handled it different but I sure don't see the totally negative connotations in their tweets that you see.

In the words of Jimmy Greaves 'It's a funny old game' engage get shit don't engage get shit, you have to realize and they should too that not every one has the same tolerance maybe they said too much to you, well obviously they did but for others they won't have said enough.

I'm sure if they ignored you after your first statements then this post would be complaining that you were ignored.

It seems we have some differing views should we be discussing them in a public forum or as you would prefer take it in private? (thats not an invitation just pointing out)

You seem happy to discuss your problems in public but not for them to answer you in public?

I'd love to agree with your 'The customer is always right in public' bit but I can't, not in the sense you are claiming it as I still don't see the negativity in their tweets that you see. The only thing I do see is that they kept tweeting at you (not in a negative way) after you told them to stop, a simple OK Jesse here is an email address xyz if you want to discuss it further would have sufficed.

Anyway we live and learn, good bad and ugly things move on, hope you enjoy your PS3!

I did Jesse to try and see the tweets for real and after hitting 'More' 10 or 12 times I gave up. So I'm still not sure 35,000 people saw them as you claim, like I said overdramatic.

I don't agree you have to put up with a shitty product that sucks I just don't see that they actually acted in the severely unprofessional manner you portray in this post.

Hey Paul I wish I had listened closer to some people who recommended I started at the D5000 but I went for the cheaper D3000 instead which doesn't have autobracketing either ;) The photo world is totally new to me right now having been a point and shoot on auto kinda guy all my life, I was really happy when I connected some dots the other day in regards to low light, fast action, shutter speeds and ISO ;)

Hi Vin, First Thanks for taking the time to comment, the think about Twitter is it is constantly evolving and changing imo, whats good today may not be tomorrow, how you used it yesterday might not be how you want to continue in the future, but thats OK each to their own! And Yes at the end of the day you have a choice...

Hey Freerangemom, Just to clarify it's not me it's a guy called Ben who I know via Twitter and it was a surprise to me to be honest. The great thing I love about Twitter is the diversity of usage like you say it can be a news source ala Scoble or keeping in touch with friends who just ate a cheese sandwich. Thanks for the comment!

Re: This is What an RSS Reader is For

One possible way is to use Tweetdeck and filter out anything but links...

Build a column with the people who's links you value hit the filter at the bottom and type http:// that way excluding anything that is not a link?

This is a hack and not persistent but I hear persistent filters are on the drawing board.
