A new month brings new billboards. Early in the week I noticed one on 101S which read:
goliath689@aol.com
david@earthlink.net
Intrigued, I did a web search. david@earthlink.net belongs to David Beckemeyer, CTO at Earthlink. Today I saw another one:
herd@aol.com
heard@earthlink.net
Obviously, these are Earthlink advertisements, taking a few digs at AOL. Anyone seen any others? Was Earthlink unable to convince goliath@aol.com to give up his/her address (or does 689 mean something?). Hmmm, should I send email to all the addresses asking “How many people have sent you email because of the billboard? Besides me, I mean.” Will I get a canned marketing response? Did Beckemeyer give up his address to PR?
