Unless you want to inflate your distribution numbers?

Which is why businesses are paying inflated prices for advertising and have been for years.

Maybe they could recycle the yellow pages as sandbags to prevent the flooding in QLD?

Julian Cole posted a twicpic of phonebook carvings a week or so back..anyone?

With the heat, the doorstop is the main use at mine… that and a test of strength

We actually say the opposite:

“Although the WPP-owned agency is rumoured within the industry to have been fired from the panel, Mumbrella understands that Telstra has not taken this step.”

And to repeat my previous question to you: what character assassination are you referring to?

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Instead you go on a long description of a person and activities in replacement of having story to back your claim(and for the record, former client of mine from yonks back so no vested interest here.)

I fully support your right to free speech. A shame you could not have adopted the same supportive attitude. Am a faithful reader, so just disappointed really that you don’t back up your stories properly… Its a small industry, and people gossip… you’d be best to rise above…

Each year my block of 7 apartments gets twice as many Yellow Pages books as there are apartments in the block. I rang 1800 008 292 last year, told them about the excess books, was told all they could do was take me off the list (powerless to do anything about the delivery of too many books).

This year, what happens? We get 15 books! 13 of them are put straight in the bin.

This is an environmental travesty (I shudder to think of the huge resources involved in publishing and then recyling the damn things) and an affront to anyone with access to Google – and all so you can con advertisers with your false readership figures. Shame on you Sensis.

They are like some massive duck billed dinosaur who has wandered into a tar pit.

It will thrash wildly. It will bellow and scream sensing its own doom. It will lash out furiously as it is trapped and sinking.

Slowly is sinks. Its fossilised remains will inspire the curiosity of small children and future palaeontologists who will tell disbelieving friends and professional acquaintances at dinner parties stories of the ancient dead beast. “Wow” they will say, “It really had a beak and feathers?” He will smile knowingly as they continue”I can’t believe such a thing would survive as long as it did”. Someone will pour another glass of chardonnay and the palaeontologist will get pissed and flirt with the host’s wife. Impressed by his authority she will blush – women like that are sexually curious.

It’s a social media strategy. It has to be. And genius too – if not for the whole Telstra elephant being paranoid and thick skinned. Then again, when the tar is rising around you you’re bound to be defensive.

There has to be a back story in this: investigate Tim. Rise to the moment. The distant trumpets are calling you. Rise Tim.

Who is advising H&K? They have no digital common sense. We all know they are worried that they too are dinosaurs. It has to be one of you digital folk.

But who?

Who has tar and feathers on their pelt?

Who is leaving black sticky footprints.

Yup. What happens on the internet, stays on the internet.

Forever.

Savvy Social Networking people: Can somebody please set up a Facebook Group to broadcast to one and all to unsubscribe to the printed Yellow Pages directory?

If Sensis are going to hide behind shoddy statistics and waste enormous amounts of paper and printing and advertisers money, lets get that directory off the streets ourselves.

When you have set up some groups – can you post a link please?
