Re: UKNM: Top 12 Internet scams

[Geoff Inns]

Yup - you are right, they were a little naughty with our brand.  But a quick

pointer in the right direction (www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/distribution) to

our wonderful content dissemination program should mean that by the end of

the week all shall be how we like it.


Thanks for the policing - my attention was first drawn by Steve's posting

last week.


Freenetnames were giving out heir CD at Farringdon tube this morning -

anywhere else?  yet another distribiution strategy hits the ground

running....service stations, Woolies, corner shops (beeb), Net, retail

(Smith's & Freeserve), cover mounts -


Who can spot the next great distribution method, aside from specific

vertical sector targeting?  Which of the big chains have yet to distribute a

CD with an ISP on it?  Country Casuals? Mothercare?  Now there's an idea....


It would be interesting to know which shops have the greatest customer flow.
