If you’re not at Mesh08

It should be said, however, that the live blog is only as good as its contributors. If too many people get involved in one event, it can be chaotic; in this case, there were a few dedicated folks snapping pictures and pasting links from the front row. Personally, I find this much more useful than a video capture. It’s random-access, and it’s got embedded links to all the content.
Scribblelive really is the next best thing. Check out this play-by-play of Michael Geist’s presentation yesterday, complete with every clip and video mentioned.

Air Canada gets it wrong
in: Communicate, Create, Standing out
I have a love-hate relationship with Air Canada. I fly their planes a lot, since I’m usually starting from Montreal or Halifax. I love the fact that frequent travelers get access to their lounge without an extra fee, even when it’s a partner’s lounge. On the other hand, Air Canada has great planes, with power and screens. I was starting to warm to them again; they’ve overhauled their entire website. It still has problems, such as the complete failure of their mobile booking process (apparently intended to send a barcode to my phone.) But it’s getting better. And then they go and break my heart again.
But frustrated by ridiculously broken enrollment and online booking processes (things like having to convince their call centers that yes, in fact, the screen in front of me does say “server error.”) I switched my loyalties to United, who get it right much more often.
