- Customer Service In A Brave New World: AT&T Puts A Finger In The Dam
Posted 25 mins ago
I don't know why but I just can't stop re-reading this exchange. Poor AT&T shoots itself in the head today by emailing customers and asking them to provide feedback in one centralized place. Customers promptly complied, and the tower of hate is almost overwhelming. Someone at AT&T will likely be cleaning out their desk tomorrow over this, and frankly I can't believe they didn't see it coming. It'll be hard for AT&T to argue that the vast majority of its customers are happy when nearly all the comments are hugely negative, some violently so.
Some commenters were particularly incensed that they…

Support For Vertical Slides Allow users to dive deeper into your content by branching intro vertical slides. Think of your horizontal slides as your main SlideDeck story line with each slide considered as a chapter. Vertical slides allow you to create optional subchapters that allow users to go deeper into the subject matter of each horizontal slide. See the example below.
Skin Support Update your SlideDeck design on the fly with the new Skin Library. The current skins were designed by our “Skin It To Win It” contest winners. You can also easily create your own custom skin by modifying a .CSS file.
- Slide 1
- Slide 2
The middle slides are used to explain or demonstrate the details of your SlideDeck story.
They can contain text, images, video or other interactions. Each middle slide can be branch into vertical slides.
We recommend 2-6 middle slides
- Slide 3
This is the final slide where you conclude your SlideDeck story.
It is a great place for a call to action. You can add links (buy now), sign up forms or next steps content. You can even load another SlideDeck.
Other WordPress Updates
- Improved WordPress 3.0 compatibility
- New and improved WYSIWYG implementations for better compatibility
- Added shortcode processing support for SlideDecks
- Better cross-browser compatibility and greater plugin stability
- NOTE: Unfortunately the new WordPress 3.0 core will not show the “Insert into post” button in the Upload/Insert media dialog. We will be releasing a fix for this later in the month (more info).
jQuery Updates
Our flagship product is more stable than even and includes tons of little internal code optimizations, improvements and bug fixes. In addition there is a new and improved skin loading methods and upgraded JavaScript core plugin to 1.1.6 to improve cross-browser compatibility.

Hey Joe,
Yeah, these things are all doable with the JavaScript plugin core, thats what we’re using to build that navigation for the WordPress plugin after all
We do not do this automagically though for you with the JavaScript plugin core, you need to manually build the navigation. If you want to do this yourself, you can take a look at some of the instructional posts made by Jamie.
