#Gourmet, #Cookie, #Elegantbride – Oh My!
In the wee hours of the morning, Gourmet, Cookie and Elegant Bride were trending on Twitter. Why? The New York Times announced today that these Conde Nast publications are closing. Declines in advertising pages continue to impact the longevity of Conde Nast, as they closed Domino and folded Men’s Vogue into Vogue this past year, according to the NY Times report. Can we please say it again? #Saveprintnews
Throughout the day, #Gourmet has been the one publication to outlast the others in the trending topics. No wonder, though—it’s been around since the 1940s!
#Woolworths
Numerous tweets spread across the feed in support of Australian retailer Woolworths' re-branding efforts, but apparently it looks a bit too much like Apple-- and that’s what the fuss is about. Though, the majority of Twitterers think Apple is being a bit too much of a bully and a little paranoid. One guy’s sarcastic tweet says it all. Still, Woolworths is getting sued in hopes that they will cease and desist in making 3-D green apple peels remotely resemble a silver one with teeth marks.
Seeing as how Apple is so huge, I don’t think this is doing them any favors. It’s like David vs. Goliath and I think, unfortunately, David is going to lose--thus the bully moniker. What do you think of this trending topic and the future of Woolworths. Woolworths? They’re still around?!
#TMobileSucks
It’s always fun when cell phone providers get thrown under the bus, specifically when unhappy customers trigger responses in other people that are, well, unhappy customers too and want everyone to know that #TMobileSucks.
We found that it’s not T-mobile in general that sucks; rather, the SideKick. A data outage continues to enrage Sidekick owners. The slamming of the smartphone is all over Twitter and everyone’s joining in by mentioning the brand in general-speak, too.
According to users and the Danger service reps of T-Mobile Sidekick, what aren’t available are e-mail, Internet, and contacts. Well, yeah, I’d be ticked too if those were the services that have been down for 4 days. I guess Catherine Zeta-Jones will have to find a new company to endorse now unless T-Mobile continues to not address the millions of Twitter users who have made this a HUGE trending topic.
