That would be Ed Markey (D-MA). In the interest of completeness, I feel I should mention that Congressman Upton is not the Chairman of the subcommittee. That would be Ed Markey (D-MA).

]]> Comment on Evite Becoming Outdated, Needs Serious Overhaul by Joe http://chritic.wordpress.com/2008/04/20/evite-is-outdated-needs-serious-overhaul/#comment-77 Joe Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:39:08 +0000 http://chritic.wordpress.com/?p=131#comment-77 Yes, Evite could be better... but what's its incentive? Evite essentially has a monopoly of the online invitation world... I certainly don't know of any competitors. It serves its function well, and perhaps there is not motivation to become bigger or better. Who knows, maybe its profit is marginal, so there is no financial incentive, either, for development. Of course, if Evite includes features that are not prominently displayed, that's another issue... one of poor marketing. But I thought we were talking about technology here. It's a Monday morning, so I can be a bit groggy... but does Ben's comment post mention any notion that wasn't already covered by the original post?

Further, just a note: you actually, CAN sync it with your iCal (it's an option on the right hand side of the evite page), but I agree that something should pop up if you reply "yes," prompting you to do so. Finally, evite is not even close to the only option for online invitations. It's just the only well-known option. See, e.g., mypunchbowl.com, sendomatic.com, sendaninvite.com, crush3r.com, etc. Although I have not used them, I may in the future, b/c many of them seem to allow for more creativity in design.

Emails are sent to the host asking for photos. It allows you to integrate it with Microsoft Outlook. Maybe it should send the photo emails to all yes guests, and allow it to integrate with google calendar, but it does, to some extent, do some of these features already.

I think The Instinct has a lot to live up to considering these other two comments. And I don't understand what the beginning paragraphs are talking about when they say IPhone bills are $120! My bill averages around $75 a month and I use my phone incessantly. The battery life isn't so bad, unless I am traveling long distances on the road (since i don't currently own a car charger.). Anywho, good luck sprint with your new phone. I currently own an IPhone and honestly my only “gripe” is that I am unable to send and recieve picture text messages.

]]> Comment on Time Warner Ad Misleads, Verizon Hammers Back with Lawsuit by Shannon http://chritic.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/time-warner-ad-misleads-verizon-hammers-back-with-lawsuit/#comment-66 Shannon Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:30:34 +0000 http://chritic.wordpress.com/?p=111#comment-66 I completely agree. After viewing the commercial, I think it unquestionably leads the viewer to believe that you need a satellite to have FiOS. It's materially misleading for sure. On another note, if the criticism is that Verizon has similarly misleading commercials, or just that they should relax, who cares? Let them be hypocritical and set a precedent with their suit. Next time they try to have a similarly misleading commercial, karma will bite them in the ass. The subject of the Verizon commercial will sue, and Verizon will be locked in by the precedent they set with the suit against Timer Warner (assuming, of course, they win). Anyway, I just know if I saw this commercial and previously had been considering FiOS, I would think that you definitely had to get a satellite, that I wouldn't want to deal with that, and that FiOS was no longer a consideration.
