Fed up with these companies

You know, I’m not really one for bashing companies but I can’t stand the lack of reliable service I have been receiving lately. I understand that things go wrong and may break from time to time. I like to think that they are working on the problem and the service will be back quickly. I like to think they actually care and will recognize that they had a problem and admit it. But maybe I have been wrong all this time.

I live in a town that is, literally, in the middle of nowhere but to be honest I have heard that excuse one too many times. I don’t care if we are; stop hiding behind that wall. Come out and face me like a man. All I ask is that you, yes you, explain to us, the customers, why you are having problems constantly. You know what else you could also consider, refunds. I mean it only makes sense; we pay for a full month, do we not? Ha! I doubt you’d do that, how would you make any money then, it is not like there is any competition up here in the north.

I thought I knew how business worked, I pay for a service and in return I get the service. Currently I am paying for the service and sometimes getting it. On the up side the three companies I am referring to are able to keep their service up more then it is down, that is always good.

I wish you’d figure out that opening up to your customers would better our relationship. Talk to us; don’t just push ads at us. Keep us up to date with what is going on, trust me people want to be involved. Then we might be a little more understanding what when your service goes down.

What I have been experiencing lately is not fun, especially considering parts of my job require the use of these services. It seems like these services are caught in the wind, because one second I have it, then I don’t, then I do, then I don’t again. It is frustrating.

Please keep in mind I still have huge amount of respect for these companies, hence I didn’t name names. I would love to find a solution to this little predicament of ours; can you offer one?

A Note About Video

This is just a quick note to all my faithful readers both here on KyleWith.com and over at YkOnline.ca. I now have the Flip camera and I now know how to import and up load easily. What does this mean? Well it mean you can expect a lot more videos from me. Maybe one a day, probably not. Both random and topical, for both here and YkOnline.ca.

I sincerely hope you don’t mind and will enjoy my adventures are Yellowknife. One of the things I hope to accomplish while doing this is my fear of the “in real life” public. What I mean is, I hope to get rid of that fear where I constantly think people are judging me while I walk down a street with a camera pointed at me. Well actually I know they are judging me, what I hope to do is ignore them completely.

So stay tuned and I will post many of them here rather than sending you all to Youtube. Cheers.

Small Business and Social Media

Mashable, the Internets biggest blog about Social Media, has done something amazing. You may all think I’m pretty lame for thinking this is amazing, but I think it will help many of us.

As you all know, because I keep babbling about it, I have been reading up on how businesses can use social media to show off there company, sort of speak. Well Mashable compiled a list of very detailed posts about just that subject and put it all into another post.

The post contains categories like: PR and Marketing, Blogging, Video and Productivity. I think it would be great if businesses took the time and read through some of these article, to realize is not only social media beneficial but also fun.  I hope to talk more about some of these thing in the future. Check it all out on Mashable here.

The Internet, Explained

Lately I have been having trouble explaining what it is I do all the time online, I’m referring to YkOnline. How do you explain what a blog is to a person who doesn’t often go online? How do you convince them it is the way the world is moving?

Comment to Twitter

When I started YkOnline I made the choice to create its own Twitter account. Mainly because at that time I thought twitter was the greatest thing invented and I was full on driving the bandwagon. Nowadays I’m not so sure that was a good idea, but that is a different post, for another time.

What I want to get at is a plugin I quickly installed for YkOnline. What the plugin does is, every time a reader comments on a post on the blog, it then gets sent to the YkOnline Twitter account. The way I have it set up, its says “[NEW COMMENT] <Start of Comment> LINK TO COMMENT”.
