Amazon keep doing the same to me — recommending products to me, based on recent purchases, that I already bought from them. Fools.

Oh, wait, I forgot. I have this theory that all marketing people are pretty stupid. Or at least, they’re not happy unless they’re unleashing more crap upon the world. Never less. Never “let’s keep quiet here, as it’ll have more impact.” Always more, more, more. Give us your e-mail address. Have this flyer. Read this e-mail. Look at this picture.

Sorry, I’m done.

> “persuade me to try an iPod”

If you’re not one of the 50 million who’ve already taken the plunge, how could they possibly tip you over the edge now? I mean, they already hired the Black Eyed Peas to market the puppies. WHAT MORE CAN THEY DO?!?

More targeted marketing would be kewl. And, one would think, not all that hard. Amazon do a pretty good job, and just consider how many millions of times smaller Apple’s product range is than Amazons.

They never send me any mails thankfully. Probably get stopped by my spam filter :)

What makes you think that Apple can afford to spend money on targetted marketing like that?

Apart from the fact that they are loaded.

And want to rule to world.

Via the medium of iPod.

And MacBooks.

You only have one… they want you to have more. So you can colour match with your other fashion accesories.

Wait for Creative and Apple to become friends and hopefully you could use Creatives better mp3 players with iTunes. Sony stuff seems to be setting alight at the moment.
