Sometimes search engines cause confusion
The other morning I got a very odd phonecall. The gentleman on the phone was ringing about an exhibition, which, in itself, is not an odd thing to talk about.
However why he was calling us was quite out of the ordinary.
One of our staff took the call, but ended up passing it to me as he couldn't understand what the gentleman wanted.
It transpires that he had got our office number from this blog, but he wasn't looking for me nor was he interested in buying any of our services.
So what was he looking for?
He was actually looking for Entertainment.ie's number.
Once he had described what he was seeing on his computer screen I understood that he was actually looking at my blog as he'd arrived there via a post I made a few months ago about Entertainment.ie's site redesign
In case anyone is wondering I did give him the correct number :)
PS: This site has no connection to Entertainment.ie :)
But what's their number?
01 809 0000
That's crazy. :)
We get about 3 calls a day looking for Eircom Tech Support. Some of them have even been calls re-directed by Eircom staff ...
Anthony - crazy, but true
Hostyle - any reason why?
We've asked Eircom mulltiple times, and they deny any possibility of it happening. We still laugh at it every time we get a call, but no doubt it'll get annoying at some point and EIRCOM WILL PAY DEARLY! Oh dear, sorry about that! At least I got some stress out ...
Weird :)
On a related note we (entertainment.ie) get a HUGE number of calls and emails from people thinking that we ARE the cinemas or the TV stations who we provide listings for. Bizarre compliaints and rants from people who want us to reschedule TV programmes to suit them because the day that it is on is the day the play bridge..... I kid you not.... It's a mad mad mad world.
