Macworld FAIL
I have much to write about Macworld, which I’ll do later, but I wanted to vent about several vexing cases of Macworld FAIL.
First: Duplicating existing offerings. Several places now offer on-device decals. Been done. External batteries, all from the same off-shore producer, just in different colors. Fail. Hawking other duplicates of long-available cheap products? Fail.
One entrepeneur reinvented instant messenging. Really. No differentiation from AIM, Y!IM, Google Chat, jabber,
etc. It’s been done. Fail.
Second: We appreciate the booth bait. It’s a fail if the technical guys DON’T
SPEAK ENGLISH!! Answering “what your meaning?” to every question may not be the winning Macworld presence for which your boss might have been hoping.
Lastly: Telling us about software and hardware that’s not yet released. If we can’t play with it or buy it that’s no more than a press release email. Fail.
There was lots of good at the show, about which I’ll be writing. But this was bugging me. I feel better. Thanks.
