10.04.2002 I was going to write about how annoying a whole bunch of Sunday drivers were (and this being Friday, they have no reason to be on the street), but I got an email which really got me going. To wit: Subject: IMPORTANT CHANGES AT ZAGAT.COM As a registered user of our site, you are invited to become a Charter Member of zagat.com, which became an online subscription service today. What does this change mean to you? You will still be able to visit zagat.com to locate a restaurant or to vote, but from now on only members will have access to our site's other features, including: [deletia] Given all these benefits, we believe that your zagat.com membership is sure to pay for itself many times over -- each time you have a good meal or avoid a bad one. Join now for a 14-day trial and enter promotional code CHARTER when you subscribe. If you like what you see, you can join for just $9.95 (that's 33% off the regular price of $14.95). This offer ends on October 18th. Please join us. Tim and Nina P.S. - To learn more, visit: http://zagatnews.zagat.com/cgi-bin4/flo?y=eI8I0EaOEz0DAn0BjJ30A4 If Zagat's content was better -- and if it wasn't generated by people like me -- I might be more inclined to subscribe. But as it stands, Zagat is just not interesting enough to merit a subscription. So long, Tim and Nina. Incidentally, I interviewed Nina Zagat last year and she didn't mention anything about going subscription. I'd link to that interview, but Ziff-Davis -- being the ridiculous company that it is -- has deleted all the archives for Smart Business. Oh what a beautiful morning! posted by Christopher Null | 10:23 AM |
