Oh Paul, the stories I could tell... Actually there might be one for the endings thread there, i've already done a McD's story in the jobs thread.

If you've enjoyed listening to our hold music - "Night of the Beast" by Prime Devastation
A friend of mine, while doing holiday work at the National Bank, managed to change their hold music to Metallica's Ride the Lightning for about 12 hours.

I know the hold music at my work plays the CD of the band one of our scientists plays in.
Was quite convenient for us - no copyright issues in ripping it into MP3 to play on the system when the band has given its blessing.
OTOH, I doubt Leonard sold any more CDs because of that exposure.

Turns out that other introverts have beaten me to it, and a quick google on antisocial networking turned up an article in New Scientist about Snubster and Isolatr.

Caring for your introvert
Deborah, thanks, you are my new favourite person. :-)

Next thing you know we'll have websites where people too lazy dial talkback radio can spiel off their thought for the day and feel self important that their world view has been 'heard'. Sure, they may not actually be sane enough to get a letter published in the newspaper but they can log on any time they like and write long posts, and fool themselves into thinking they might have made a difference. (When in reality everyone is saying 'oh, that guy' and hitting the scroll button.)
Isn't that pretty much the definition of a (personal) blog?

Ditto, its like schadenfreude, only with good fortune...

Olinda looks like a lovely geeky concept, but I can't imagine ever having a use for it.
I can count on the thumbs of one foot the times I've stopped and thought "I wonder what <insert random friend here> is listening to on the radio right now?"
But then again, I have zero presence on any social networking site, and a similar level of interest in signing up for one. I'm probably not the target demographic.
I'm thinking of starting up a social networking site for introverts. You sign up and it sends a message to everyone you know saying "I vahnt to be ahlone, darlink".

Don't worry, Graeme, with time and practice, you could become a master baiter.

Kudos to Russell and his posse for providing the venue - without the PAS and the seed sown we're just a bunch of disparate stories which may or may not have ever come to light.
He is the Rolling Stone Magazine to our Hunter S Thompsons...
