B. Mann Consulting

So, I wasn't going to write about this at all, but now Travis has, so I'm going to tell how it went down with me.

Travis Smith: I Won't Be Nokia's Bitch:

This is cool: Nokia’s going to be sending me a fancy free (not fancy-free) cell phone soon, because I have the POWER oF BLOGGING at my fingertips.

That said, me and 44 other people (or should I say 44 other people and I? The use of “other” depends on a predicate, doesn’t it?) will be getting a Nokia 6682 multimedia smart phone, fully equipped with 512 MB of memory, a stereo headset and a wireless Bluetooth Headset as well.

A company that does "buzz marketing", Matchstick.ca, had three separate people contact me via email. All of those emails were sent en-masse -- I consider it to be spam. And I happen to know at least two other people (David Crow, Roland Tanglao) that got the same email.
