Kindra Arnesan and Her Recount of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill

I’ll just ask why this isn’t in the news? Why isn’t her voice and the voice of the affected as present as the voice of the people that have done this to that area? Quick summary, this is a Venice, Louisiana local that was granted security access and describes the lack of effort on BP’s part.

Less BP PR, more people actually doing something.

Mrs. Arnesan you are my hero.

Verizon To AT&T: The Truth Hurts – Back and forth over ad campaign continues…

William — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:10:53 +0000

Last week AT&T tried their best to get Verizon’s new ad campaign shuttered. The series of ads poke fun at AT&T’s lackluster 3G coverage and network performance, something AT&T didn’t find amusing. Verizon has now filed their 53 page legal retort (warning: PDF document) to AT&T’s complaint, which as you’d expect argues that illustrating AT&T’s network limitations is a perfectly fair form of advertising. On page seven sits this gem: “AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon s ‘There s A Map For That’ advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon s ads are true and the truth hurts.” As for AT&T’s claim that the maps used to highlight AT&T’s 3G coverage are unfair? “AT&T does not like the truthful picture painted by that comparison,” says Verizon.

AT&T’s Memo To Employees About Verizon Suit – ‘If anybody asks, just tell them we’re incredibly awesome…’

The other day we noted how AT&T was suing Verizon over their “There’s A Map For That” ad campaign, claiming the ads misrepresented AT&T’s wireless network coverage. A leaked memo from AT&T management to employees has surfaced, telling them what to tell consumers should they ask about the lawsuit. In short: “tell customer’s we’re awesome” is the meat of the memo, which not surprisingly omits AT&T’s recent struggles with iPhone data capacity and the fact that yeah, Verizon does have better 3G coverage. In short, the suit still seems like it could backfire, given it simply brings greater attention to the fact that Verizon does have better 3G coverage — no matter what maps you’re looking at.
