Has Dell started to engage?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

They seem to be at least trying to engage bloggers and participate in the conversations about their products that are going on. I got this email today:

Good Morning Mike,

I am writing in regards to your post http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/2006/08/dell-recall.html. I am more than happy to answer any questions regarding your Dell affected battery(s). If you have arranged for the battery replacements, I can provide a order status update. Please feel free to email me directly.

Best Regards,

Marie

Dell Customer Advocate

Now granted, our replacements have already arrived and are in place, so I have no complaints, but it’s nice to know they’re listening.

Update:Adam Gaffin, over at Network World, linked to this post, and pretty quickly got a comment from someone at Dell, they certainly are listening!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I disabled trackbacks on the entire blog. I’m tired of dealing with the spam. Perhaps if Haloscan puts something together that makes some effort at blocking it I’ll think about it again, but for now, it’s too much work deleting the dozens of spam trackbacks every single day. While the trackbacks will still appear in…

    Ah so I see my point about real-time blogging at conferences being a bad idea has reached Robert Scoble’s eyes today. He says: So, your boss doesn’t want you to take notes next time he pays you to go to a conference? No, actually, I’m sure my boss does want me to take notes, since…

    Here’s a thought, maybe voter turnout isn’t low because of voter apathy. Maybe, just maybe, all those non-voters out there are simply waiting for a candidate to run who is actually worthy of our important vote. I can’t remember the last time a candidate was actually worth voting for, let alone taking the time and…
