Re: Virgin ‘Unlimited’ ‘Broadband’ - One Week Was All I Could Take

When I checked the webmail and found that they’re charging me £44.99 for a £14.99pcm service - I phoned Virgin again and there’s a set-up charge which I was not informed of either - I have complained to them about that too and requested a refund as at no time did they tell me this.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for clarifying the story from your point of view - I didn't write the blog post to get you to write about it - I did the email for that and you didn't want to so I simply did my own and through the power of my network the story will get out anyway.

Steve

Someone going to some trade show to pimp a site does not a news story make. I gather that sort of thing happens all the time. This post is really going to get me to write about it all. Oh yes.

Steve, I find you to be a agreeable guy.
I do believe people sincerely like each others. My experience has taught me that it is always a two sided street, each party in a friendship must make an effort. I know some friends can be false, and they don't remain your friends, but then again I have a few friends I have known for over thirty years.

For what it's worth I enjoy your company online.

Interesting (again!) - I guess the GNUWorldOrder 'concept' is more specific than open4.org, which is good.

Thanks Foomandoonian, much appreciated - will give it some more thought...

I think you summed up my reasons why perfectly there! I gather you would then interview the people you visited for a film or series of films. You have combined several great uses of the internet (mapping interface, digg style 'democratic' voting and online video) and produced an easy to understand concept. I even like the domain, although I wouldn't trust my opinion exclusively for this, as I own some strange doamins myself!

The site needs polishing, and I don't know how you would go about promoting it, but I'd give it some more thought.

As for Open4, it's in no way BAD idea, but I think you are up against TONS of competition in that arena.

Interesting - what kind of potential do you think? I just like the fact that it puts it in a little more context - you can see what's going on /and/ where easily.

The gnuworldorder.info domain runs out next month - let's see if I can work out a way to keep it going (or think of a better domain). I haven't added anything on it for ages - again, it's trying to get something which other people will want to join in with.

Ultimately I'd love to report back from free software in action from around the world - in schools, businesses, govt, etc. - the idea was that I would visit the ones members voted up the most.

Maybe.
I just discovered your GNU World Order site though and I have to say, I think that has tons of potential!
