Good #blogchat last night, huh? And you’re right, having a white background is a good rule of thumb, but not exactly a must. I made the tweet edgy to get lots of RTs and @s. It worked. 🙂

This blog is SUCH a breath of fresh air. Percentage wise, few bloggers get every aspect of their digital real estate correct, and you’ve nailed it. Awesome design, calls to action, headers, images, and body copy. It’s perfect.

Oh, and the article I’m commenting on here was really interesting too. I’m not an NFL genius so I won’t get any more specific than that. Something about keeping customers happy, right? Got it.

So yeah. This site is now gracing my Google reader.

Good times.

Had the NFL acted in the way you advocate — that being, giving better seats to next years Super Bowl and arranging free hotel accomodations — the potential upside, longterm, benefit to them could have been much much greater in the positive publicity, etc. Had I been one of those 400 people, and was offered those accomodations, sure I’d be disheartened to not be able to attend that game….but, I’d also be excited to see the extent to which they were willing to make amends and accomodate me.

I’d probably write a blog post or two about it…tell everyone on Facebook….etc. The resulting positive publicity could have turned a bad situation into a very beneficial one to the NFL’s name and image.

Yup you hit it out of the park. The NFL and Cowboys could of scored a touchdown but loss the game. Season tickets to Cowboys or Green Ba or Chicago at a minimum, double the number of tickets to next years Super Bowl – with all expenses paid and getting some of the affected attendees on cam with the offer, would have won the day. But they “cheaped” out and will pay $100X’s more for the mistake. The Super Bowl is big business ($10B in revenue) and a hundred thousand or so in offers – would have made this a win/win for everyone.

People are dying from lack of food all over the world and you dedicate a blog post to whining about how you didn’t get to see your favorite team. It all sounds like a kindergarten kid to me.

All in all, 2400 dollars is a lot of money – and if you also get a ticket to next year’s game (which would become your once-in-a-lifetime-experience) it’s a fair measure.
