Gents, let’s not SpinVox this up, ok?

By on August 27, 2009 in News

Got a tweet yesterday from @weirdshanghai, always a good source for interesting perspective (not only on the mobile industry).

On the subject of SpinVox, he wrote….

@Ew4n I have taught the executives at China Mobile an NEW ENGLISH TERM. “Lets not SPINVOX, this UP” seems to be well received. One person decided to be a smart ass and told me to go SPINVOX MYSELF….

I think if you used this phrasing in the UK and the States, folk would catch on to your meaning pretty quickly.

    I'm guessing they're the exception to the rule “no such thing as bad PR” :-)

    Ewan,
    I was having a chat with a newcomer to Tuttle Club LA this morning and I couldn't help myself, instead of saying “if you do that you'll cock it all up” I said “don't pull a SpinVox”. I'm not sure he got it but I chuckeled inside.
    I feel bad for SpinVox but life is what it is. This situation reminds me of a few months ago when a FedEx exec bad mouthed the city he was flying into on Twitter.
