This is a bold move but I'm afraid it is simply not enough to counter strike Google. Google will simply come back with another and more devistating release.

Wise move on their behalf. This has been something they have discussed for years now and continue to be acting in a prudent manner. Why chase cash if you know of the negative implications to your business and direction?

Has McDonalds done their homework here? I am all in favor of a WiFi world but the demographics on this one are a little off.

Are the local constuction crews going to McyD's with their PDA's now? Are the zit popping teens deciding to do their home work after school while shoveling in a quarter pounder. I'm afraid this is yet another poor decision from a company on the outside.

The "me too" story is getting a little old.

Up2Speed: Email Lists Filling Up with Non-readers

Nothing shocking here. This is truly reflective of the canablization of the email lists for short term revenue purposes only. If only companies of yore had foresight and an ounce of respect for their subscribers, perhaps our little economy would be a little different?
