Three Degrees: what
utter HORSE-SHIT! :rolleyes:
quote:
Group members can create play lists of 60 songs, or about the equivalent of six CDs. The songs are played from the participant's hard drive, rather than being illegally swapped. Songs can be in Windows Media Audio, MP3 or WAV formats.
Yeah right! Now that's
really gonna go over big with the "NetGenners". How long do you suppose they'll go along with this once they find out they can't copy? I'd give it about five minutes.
quote:
Core to threedegrees is the group instant messaging, for which there is no restriction on the number of groups. While each group is limited to 10 members, one person could participate in a dozen different groups or more, instant messaging or participating in activities in any or all of them.
Again, how long do you think that will last? "In developing the product, Microsoft started first by looking at the computing habits of the age group, which Savage said is radically different from people who did not grow up with the Internet." That's right. They aren't the dumb-asses you're use to dealing with. They're a helluva lot more tech-savvy, having grown up with computers, the 'Net and all. :eek:
quote:
"We really wanted to have a different set of skills that would allow them to meet new people online in a way I, for instance, cannot," she said. "They have a way of vouching for each other as friends, figuring out who to trust and not trust."
And they will very soon find out that
you can't be trusted.
quote:
Another feature, known as Winks, lets one user send animations to everyone in the group. "Winks is an activity where they can basically wink at someone across the room, but (you) do it virtually. Flirt with them," Savage said.
Now that's just SOOOOOOOOO
FUCKIN' KEWEL!!!!!! I can barely contain my excitement over that! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
quote:
We didn't go out and spend $1m on branding. We basically sat around one day and said, 'Why is this meaningful to us?'... It's the team answer, and so that's what we're going out with."
No, of course you didn't. Yup:
nothing like a dozen college graduate marketing weenies for knowing what tech-savvy teens need and want. But then again, we're
MICROSOFT; we know what's good for you better than you know yourself. Now for the $64000 question: is it "meaningful" for your customers? You remember: all those "little people" out here who made you what you are today. Yeah, that's right: them (us).
Three Degrees will be the raving success that was Microsoft Bob.
