I salute companies which are quick to turn a negative, random event into positive publicity / users. We should all be on the lookout for ways to do this in our own businesses.
However, Monday Aug 5th is 3 days away and they still have zero details on how to use their service. Doesn't seem like the best business plan to me...
we'll be announcing details tomorrow via FB and Twitter...
Will you release them via this website also?
