Coke Got It!  YEAAAAA.   Coke finally got it and changed their website design.

After half a dozen emails, and a bunch of blog posts,they finally got the message. They are also going to lose their Darwin Dodo Design Award that I gave to them last month as well. It is a good thing. I am glad that they finally changed their Website.

There are some great lessons to learn from this story.  Watch the video and you see what I am talking about.

They went from this…

to this…

Don’t you think it looks better?

Well, I left a message at the Coke Public Relations number that I dug up on their site and then I called Berkshire Hathaway and actually got in touch with a nice lady there.  I am sure she thought I was a nut job or something at first, but she did listen to what I had to say and I did email here info on what was going on over at Coke.com .

She also noted that I has misspelled Mr. Buffett’s name wrong, there are 2 Ts in it.  That is what I get for copying his name from another story in the news… 

Anyway, will see how successful she is at kicking things up the chain of command and I will let you know if I here back from Coke’s PR department.

Cheers,

Anderson

PS  I also got a call from someone in Coke’s PR department a bit ago.  Forwarded the info to her as well.  We shall see if we get any movement out of this.  I hope that they do get it fixed. And both ladies that I spoke with were very nice about things.

Werror Day 6

I Am Calling Coke And Warren Buffett Again Tomorrow….

Ok, this was funny at first, but how in the world can you explain how one of the worlds most well know companies can have an error on their Website (Werror)  for going on a month now?

I could understand it if it was some Mom and Pop operation, but this is a multi-billion dollar company for Pete’s sake.

Has incompetency in the Corporate world reached that of the Government Level?  Man, I sure hope not.

I have to say I am sadly disappointed.  Aren’t you? Ok, well not really.  Perhaps just a little bit anyway. 

Now please note I am picking on them because it is so easy and as the old saying goes, you can hide the truth in plain site or is that on your site?  LOL

So I will try and call both Coke and Warren Buffet (Cokes single largest stockholder through Berkshire Hathaway) again tomorrow and I will let you know the outcome.

And just to keep this in proper perspective, in the scheme of things this is not a big deal, but I hope that if I do something like this, that someone lets me know.

Cheers,

Anderson
