Re: Alfa Telecom (managed by Orascom)

Ok, I am gonna flatter my ego and say that my post and rage (with foul language) helped pressuring Alfa Telecom to withdraw their new BB policy (200MB, every extra MB MIGHT be charged an extra 1$)

To everyone’s surprise, Alfa announced today that the Blackberry service is (back to) for 40USD with no additional charges (subject to F.U.P. 500MB).

A funny short story

Ketchup UX

I am brainstorming lately on how and what to present in a few days/weeks about user experience.

The audience will be folks (tweeple!), most are bloggers, all are internet savvy, but the vast majority is not familiar with user experience design.

I decided to take an ascending approach, just to familiarize everyone with UX and explain that UX is omnipresent and affects our daily lives…
