Their fashion is right up my ally. I had a questions about my credit card last night and this was my experience.

Part 1. I filled out the Express Credit Card Online contact form to ask a question.

Part 2. I got a the following reply:
“I certainly do apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this has
caused.  So that we can better assist you we ask that you contact us by
phone at 1-800-888-5529.”

Part 3. I called the number and went through a dozen different menus trying to get an operator on the line to answer my question. No luck. It was just a maze of automation and waiting while the recording did various sales pitches which ended up waisting 40 minutes of my life.

Part 4. I sent another form online asking why I cannot get an opperator on the line during regular hours (as listed on the website).

Part 5. I got the following reply:
“We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced regarding your
 Victoria’s Secret [What?] account. Please be informed that if you wish to
contact us for your query, you may also do so by:
1. Submitting your request online via our ?Contact Us? link (after sign
in)
2. Sending your inquiry by mail to the address listed below
P.O. Box 182273
Columbus, OH 43218 – 2273″

Does anyone see the issue here?

A couple of years ago I had a dream, and this is the realization of that dream. Vevia.com is a revolutionary system that allows artists and photographers to create their own websites with galleries, pages, and a completely custom look.

The beauty of the system lies in it’s ease of use. We created every feature from top to bottom to be as easy and user friendly as possible.

We are currently in Private Beta testing. If you or anyone you know is a photographer or artist, there is a chance to join the beta test by signing up at www.vevia.com.

It’s a featurette of people’s creative workspaces. Below are some screenshots but be sure to check out the website at thinkspace.economist.com. It’s nice to see some publications are starting to realize what the web can offer their tribe.

The former comedian, SNL writer, political commentator and author of two outstanding books – Lies and The Truth (with Jokes) – is now a United States Senator. I wish him luck.
