Send Valentine
Plaxo today is showing a nifty new “Send Valentine” button in the Plaxo toolbar. Plaxo must know something about their customers that I don’t, because I never would have thought it convenient to bulk-send valentines to my contacts list.
On the other hand, Apple seems to be clueless. I pointed out the shortage of pink iPod minis last Valentine’s day. This year, you can get iPod Nano in black or white. The Nano is exactly the right price point, and is the perfect little gift of affection. Now, if they would have released a pink version, or done some custom packaging to commemorate the season, I bet they would double sales right now. I offer that to Apple for free (since they didn’t pay attention last time I pointed it out). And don’t tell me buy an iPod video and put a pink cover on it. This is too “geek”, it won’t pass the gf test.
And what’s up with the videos on iTunes? It seems like the best songs (e.g. “Outta Control remix”, “Your Life’s on the Line”) are available as video only. Now, I would happily pay the $1.99 per song if it could play on my mini, but I’m not going to lug around an iPod video just to listen to these songs.
