Stuff Magazine & Sunrocket VoiceIP

I wrote a few weeks ago about the end of Stuff magazine and how it ended very abruptly. The thing that really gets me is that I never received a letter from the company explaining that the had closed up shop and I still had some issues coming before my subscription expired. Not a very good business strategy for Stuffs new management team that ditched the mag in order to focus on Maxim. I also have a subscription to Maxim but I don’t think I will be renewing that mag as well.

If you go to the subscription section on Stuffs website it states:

Sorry, the following error has occurred:

We are no longer accepting subscriptions for this publication.

At this time we do not know when or if they will be restarted.
Please check with the operators of the site you came from. They may know.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

We are unable to continue processing your request at this time.
The site Webmaster has been notified.
Please try again later.

So it seems to me that they are handling this in a rather strange way. Why not tell your readers that they shut down the magazine and that they will send you Maxim until the end of your subscription. This seems to happen frequently these days, companies are simply not accountable and just close up shop. This is strikingly similar to the message on the  SunRocket.com

- ALL SERVICES TO BE DISCONTINUED NO LATER THAN AUGUST 5, 2007 -

As previously reported, SunRocket is in the process of discontinuing its operations and SunRocket will no longer be able to provide its customers with the phone service.

While services to customers may be discontinued at anytime, all services will be discontinued no later than August 5, 2007.

However, two service providers are assisting and offering to provide SunRocket customers the opportunity to sign up for their services. Both providers have agreed to become preferred providers with special pricing for the SunRocket customers to enable them to migrate their telephone service. Of course, there are other providers and each individual customer can make their own decision as to which carrier they wish to transition to.

We urge each and every customer that has not signed up with a new service provider to immediately do so now. Do not delay as services are being discontinued and will be permanently shut down no later than August 5, 2007.

Emails to the SunRocket customers are currently being sent with more detailed information on how to sign up with the two preferred service providers. The email address of the SunRocket customers that is on record is the address being used to send emails to the customers. Or you can call (703) 394-4150 and follow the directions on the voicemail.

We realize this is a very difficult period for the SunRocket customers. With these two preferred providers, the customers will have the opportunity to transfer telephone services. Both providers are offering SunRocket customers special pricing and easy porting of their telephone numbers.

An affiliate of Sherwood Partners, LLC is managing the process as the Assignee for the benefit of creditors.

Creditors of SunRocket will receive a notice within the next 30 days in regards to the general assignment and for the filing of claims in the liquidation process of SunRocket.

Funny how companies just go belly up and the people who work there are essentially the last to know.

Seems like Heineken is going after the Euro club scene with their new ad spot. Looks like they are following in the simpsonizeme.com direction.

The title of the ad is DraftKeg and it was producedand created by Berlin Cameron United.Here is the link I found from www.adage.com to check out the video yourself since I couldn’t find it on www.youtube.com

Or you could just check out the one I made at the www.HeinekenDraughtkeg.com website.
