AT&T Delivers Blogging?

2006 February 1 by Josh

Comment Icon 16 Comments

Icons Delivered As Rachel and I were returning from last nights Mavs game I noticed a new AT&T billboard across from Dallas' Infomart. It reads nothing more than "Blogging Delivered" (with the O in the word Blogging thoughtfully replaced by the AT&T logo). What the heck?

Now that I'm writing this I just find that Scoble picked up on this a week or so ago, so it's kinda old news, but still... where does AT&T get off telling us how they deliver blogging? I know that some of us unfortunately have been subject to use SBC's (now AT&T's) DSL service, but really guys, this is ridiculous. Other iterations I have now seen include "Photos Delivered" as well. Oh really? I though that was Flickr. Oh no wait, that's just me. I'm the one taking the photos.

AT&T is lost, and their ad agency is not helping them find themselves. I just can't wait to see what AT&T delivers to me next week.

Daniel VanMilligan says

Yeah, I have seen the 'Blogging Delivered' boards here too. The other one I have seen states 'Your Delivered'. This doesn't make any sense to me! Obviously, if it said 'You're Delivered' it would make more sense, but still not enough.

I haven't been enlightened by 'Photos Delivered' yet.

Josh Williams says

John Marstall here mentioned he saw a Your Delivered billboard in Saint Louis as well. That one is just weird.

Jon Auer says

They have a 'Podcasting Delivered' billboard just north of Milwaukee.
Please, make it stop.

Josh Williams says

Podcasting Delivered? Oh, that's awful.

Dustin Drees says

Ha! I saw the Blogging Delivered one just this morning and I couldn't help but keep saying it facetely. "BLOGGING..........DELIVERED!!!"

Daniel VanMilligan says

After posting my original comment, I was headeding out of work and saw a brand new one. 'Networking Delivered'. I guess they need words that have 'O's in them.

Josh Williams says

Productivity was delivered to me outside of downtown Fort Worth last night.

Bradley says

They recently put up a Blogging Delivered on State Rd. in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.

The only important things in that area are Ernest Angley ministries (major televangelist, ernestangley.org) and the asian food market I frequent. So maybe only half of that is important.

Driving by, my girlfriend and I just looked at each other like, "What the..." and proceeded to ask the obvious: How, exactly, are you delivering blogging, AT&T?

There is almost nothing useful in that area of town. Who the heck are they marketing to? Save-a-lot customers? 40-year-old men exiting AutoZone?

I feel ya, Josh. BTW, ColorBurn rocks my face off.

Drew says

Your delivered = your WORLD delivered (b/c of the 'o' being replaced by a symbol of the ... you guessed it... world)

Anchor says

An old dog barks not in vain... Anchor

Dolora says

To send (carry) owls to Athens... Dolora

Grace says

Health is not valued till sickness comes... Grace

Enoch says

A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool... Enoch
