1 edit | Re: Alternatives fall far short This has nothing to do with email, so you're won't really be affected. We are talking about Yahoo YP and SBC SMARTpages and how the pages changed with the new format. --
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning. -Catherine Aird-
I'm sure SBC has a lot to do with the layout and design of the pages, but SBC is not an ISP content provider, they are a Telephone Company. Instead of just giving you your internet access and letting you go and sign up for basic Yahoo, or MSN, or where ever, to get content etc. they ventured with Yahoo, a content provider. Otherwise, it would just be SBC, no SBC Yahoo, they wouldn't need Yahoo to provide the content if they did that. (Or wait, yeah, Yahoo is providing you with really great DSL speeds, and SBC is the content provider??? now you see how this works?).
Seriously, any problems with DSL service and this is the place. The SBC techs online here are the greatest, and you'll always get your answer, REALLY.
Content, on the other hand, is handled by the content provider, Yahoo.
Everyone should try this. Go to your SBC Yahoo home page, and click on the link at the top right hand of the page that says "Send Feedback". You'll be talking to the right people about the right issue, content. And they've even provided you with a link to do so, really simple.
The technicians here would probably love to be able to fix your problems with the content on your home pages, but they can't do anything about it here. You actually get results to problems like why your pings aren't pinging, or your modems not syncing. If you use the information provided you and speak to the right people, they will be more than happy to help you (like the techs are here) and you'll be able to get your point across to the right people, and probably even get a real answer. This can only get frustrating as no one here can do anything about it. But they can sure fix any technical problems you might have.
Does anyone know if there's an forum anywhere on line that focusses on Content providers? |
