Top 10 Tech Web Tips

I just ran into a funny little bug on Utterz today. I just happened to joke around and send a message to @VerizonWireless only to discover that the user actually exists. (no idea if its the company or just a person) If its truly the company, then Verizon Wireless, you suck!

If its a person with no Verizon affiliation, you don’t suck, but I question your naming motivations.

Anyway, I thought I would block the user with the name VerizonWireless. After I hit the block button, it shows me as a follower of VerizonWireless!

The last thing in the world I want to do is be perceived as a follower of that terrible company (did I mention they ripped me off for over $500 this year and then an additional $150 when they couldn’t fix my account for problems they admitted to? Yeah, I probably did. )

So in my quest to snarkily attack Verizon Wireless, I somehow was dumped into a box that could be perceived as an endorsement of the company that ripped me off. That’s the last thing I want next to acne cures that involve leeches and hot glass fish bowls, so I’d like to point this out to the Utterz team and ask that they reconsider their blocking functionality.
