Customer Service counts for 99% of a transaction

Posted at 5:56pm on Monday, April 30th, 2007

If you like trainers (and who doesn’t?) I strongly recommend TrainerStation. Their customer service is second to none - every time I’ve ordered something from them it’s arrived the next day, and if there have been problems (like not fitting, or technical glitches) they have been absolutely on top of it and incredibly helpful. And they do retro Adidas, which is real weakness of mine….

Hi Five

Posted at 3:41pm on Friday, April 20th, 2007

Fascinating analysis of the new Hi Five format from Rhino (as sold through the Sonly store). A mini greatest hits really appeals (to me, at least).

Thanks to Monty for pointing me at this link

Amie Street

Posted at 9:40am on Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Very interesting post over at TechCrunch about Amie Street Music. They offer DRM-free music downloads whose price varies according to popularity. All tracks start off free, and the price rises as the track is downloaded more often (to a maximum of $0.98). Fascinating idea. As Monsieur Arrington says Market driven prices and no DRM = Music Nirvana. Shame that the first release from more mainstream labels/artist is the Barenaked Ladies, but you can’t have everything I guess.

Seek and ye shall find (or, how the Internet will always provide)

Posted at 7:18am on Saturday, November 4th, 2006

You remember my recent post about iSearchBetter where I was asking for a UK version? Well, I’ve just received a mail from iSearchBetter’s developer telling me he’s made exactly that: iSearchBetter.com/uk. I’ve just spent a happy few minutes trying it out and it does exactly what I was after. Marvellous!
