Autotrader fails at Tweeting

Bored on Twitter, I searched for my local city, Shepherdsville.  Scrolling by the cloud of FourSquare check-ins and such, I see a neat idea. Autotrader says that a one Eric, has an Audi for sale in Shepherdsville.

To which my mind says, “Go on.. Tell me more…”

No where in this tweet is there a link to the actual ad.  Fail. #fail #epicfail #duh.  Took a swing, missed by a mile. Drop the “Eric Y. is selling a” line and just give me a link. Like so:

FS: 2005 Audi A4 (Shepherdsville, KY) http://atrdr.we/43874

Ta-da! I’m a genius! (back-pat) Did I also mention that I’m available for hire? Find me on LinkedIn!

Funny stuff

Got this voice mail the other day from Fox. While the message itself is mildly humorous, Google’s transcription of the message is epically bad. I actually donated the message to Google so they could use it to improve. No, really I did.

Here’s the message.

Here’s the transcript. I was really hoping the embed feature would have the transcript in it, so it would highlight as it plays.. but no such luck. You’ll just have to imagine it.

WTF

LOL.
