They are learning.

After my grouchy post about Acer’s design choices, twitterfeed published the link in my Twitter feed.

Shortly after I’ve been contacted by @TheAcerGuy, a guy running a blog asking me to repost my content. ”Sure, help yourself”, was my answer.

I did a little research on the guy and I discovered he runs a communication company and works for Acer. He’s basically a consultant for Acer’s brand image on social networks, running his “unofficial” blog. Curiously enough, he lives in Milano.

I like that companies are experimenting with this kind of communication. I doubt that any of my grouchyness will make it through someone who actually takes this kind of decisions, but marketing is no more a broadcast, as much as it became a conversation. It’s interesting.

He did recommend my post to a guy who tweeted about doing the same kind of operation I did on my netbook.

The guy seems really smart and I thank him again for the quick conversation on twitter.

Stay tuned, more to come.
