For the red tops we just need a stunner to turn up in this:

Actually as I type... thinking... I know someone who dated a Nutz girl, I reckon she'd be game, I'll see what I can do

Thoughts on yes(we want a girl in comedy thong) or no(it cheapens our campaign)

It's Friday night, most people I know are out, so tomorrow we should start to see primary digging, then as they forward we'll get seconday digging etc etc.

Don't stress this evening, we have a whole weekend, get some sleep dude. Your family are more important than an evening stressing about diggs on a protest over a month away.

I am not sure if they would be happy to promote a competing news site to be honest. I was lucky enough for my comment to go through. Chris and El Reg have been great on this issue so I don't want to risk asking for too much.

You will be amazed how quickly that 6 weeks will vanish. If I turn up to this demo and only half a dozen people arrive I will look like a complete monkey and I don't want that to happen. Getting this out in the public now will give people time to book a day holiday.

there is the other side to this as well, the BT Trials are "imminent" so the more people know about this issue before the trials begin, the more difficult it will be for BT to get their 10 000 lab rats.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

if your really wanting to make a bigger splash OC , then putting some video footage quotes from the speaker's of the event together, could be made into a short and snappy "current.TV" video clip that could then be uploaded before the event.

it needs to be in the younger demographic and CurrentTV style to be effective and fire them up about them being spyed on for profit and make them actively appose it though....

if there were a clip of the gadgetshow Interception for profit OC then that too could have made it to the currentTV pages and googleCurrent.

Advocates Target ISP Working With Phorm

Posted May 30th, 2008 by Wendy Davis
Behavioral targeting company Phorm hasn’t launched yet, but is already facing more pushback than even the staunchest privacy advocates likely anticipated. The latest news is that Phorm opponent Alex Hanff is calling for people to picket the annual meeting of BT — one of the Internet service providers that’s working with Phorm.

“The purpose of the protest is to make BT shareholders aware of the past and planned use of allegedly illegal interception technologies to sell behavioral profiles to an ex-spyware company,” he said, according to a report today in the U.K. paper The Register.

Yup sent email to her, sorry I thought I replied to your pm lol.

Another funny thing just happened to. I posted the press release to UK LUG and never realised one of my friends is one of the admins. He contacted me online to tell me it has been forwarded to the regional list managers. It has already been posted to the Dorset and Nottingham LUG email lists as a result.

it being the gadgetshow OC, means they need to find an angle they can cover it with,and justify the wider angle.

perhaps they can supply some mobile video streaming gadgets tech that can then be trialed and compared while covering the protest?
