I am glad that the system is working again. One recommendation - for your customer service follow-up page, please allow urls to be provided. I wanted to send the CS people a link to this page and couldn't do it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That said, I will definitely continue using Fandango's core service and will try out the reviews one more time before I make up my mind :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Appreciate your following up here.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Shripriya</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 04 Mar 2007 17:20:33 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fandango - wasting the opportunity</title><link>http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/02/25/fandango-wasting-the-opportunity/#comment-3289799</link><description>I actually do work at Fandango, and don't know what the technical problem was in your particular case, but we do our own ratings / reviews and have generally had good feedback...in just a few months we many thousands of ratings on current movies.  Sorry if there was a technical glitch on that one movie, hopefully it won't happen againn.  We do appreciate the feedback!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Fandango maven</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 03 Mar 2007 20:21:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fandango - wasting the opportunity</title><link>http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/02/25/fandango-wasting-the-opportunity/#comment-3289796</link><description>First an update - today, the link is live - amazing!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@ Jeffrey - I bet you are right. The service provider finally got their act together.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@ Aditya - Great point. I did let them know. The process of filing a complaint was incredibly painful. They asked for more information and I tried to post the link (to the page and to the image) in the form, but it would not accept a URL. Aargh... They should stick to what they do best...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@ Vi - Yes, the core service works well, I've found. I'll plan on just sticking to that.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Shripriya</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2007 19:00:35 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fandango - wasting the opportunity</title><link>http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/02/25/fandango-wasting-the-opportunity/#comment-3289797</link><description>I've never really used Fandango to buy movie tickets--the theaters around my area generally have automated machines to purchase the tickets, and I avoid going at crowded/peak times.  Their accurate listing of show times is convenient, though.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Guest</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2007 12:12:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fandango - wasting the opportunity</title><link>http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/02/25/fandango-wasting-the-opportunity/#comment-3289798</link><description>just curious if you actually let fandango have  piece of your mind! considering it probably took you about 10-12 minutes for a blog post about this - perhaps a minute to let them know that they are screwing up would be in order, and even more important - that they could lose your business over this!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;maybe they will offer you the 100$ reward as compensation - and you won't even have to bother writing the review :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Aditya</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2007 10:50:46 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fandango - wasting the opportunity</title><link>http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/02/25/fandango-wasting-the-opportunity/#comment-3289795</link><description>Bet you anything they tried to do this on the cheap by outsourcing it to some other service and that other service is now down.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jeffrey McManus</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 26 Feb 2007 01:08:10 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
