I'm still subject to some rules, but a heck of a lot less than the gardens you guys develop in like Facebook, Twitter and AOL.
I included AOL, because while it seems ridiculous someone would do that today, people used to until they got horrifically burned, and I think it'll be the same with non-decentralized platforms like FB and Twitter in the future.
Once again, my platform is the Internet.
People who have found their success on the internet at large are my colleagues, but occasionally they are also arrogant in their views that anyone who doesn't make an HTML website is an idiot. These people's tunnel vision will hold them back their whole lives, and this character flaw is likely evidenced in other views they espouse.
This is all moving in the right direction. It's just not there yet today, so no thanks.
The carriers still have too much control.
Also... Hello, David, I also worked at Electriciti in the late 90's, and remember you from back in the day. Sounds like things have gone well since then!
I've even sent some emails on behalf of SmartTwitter to folks I know who might be able to fix this issue.
My point was simply that this will become par for the course, and you should expect and be okay with that if you are developing on OPP (other peoples platforms).
And that might be fine. SkyMall is at the mercy of the airlines, but still makes an absolute killing and so they put up with it.
EDIT: Oops, I didn't see your follow-up until after I made my reply. You said what I am saying, but better.
