Verizon Mucks Up Flickr with Text Ads
There is a nice little post on Brand Noise about Verizon’s decision to place ads on all photo’s uploaded to Flickr using their phones. Thus turning what had been a nice service into making the consumer an unwilling participant in shilling for Verizon.
Brand Noise sums things up:
“Mobile needs to understand that it is selling experiences – not phone plans – if you mess up the vibe of those experiences you can never expect people to jump on to new services.”
Amen.

Just the other day Verizon sent me a video MMS spam to check out some MTV show on their VCAST service. Yet another reason to jump ship.
