Crikey’s Plane Talking has a piece about Virgin Blues tweeting of $9 fares in celebration of their 9th birthday, media release and twitter feed.

As Ben Sandilands rightly (Plane Talking author) comments, whilst this is great for both Virgin and their potential customers, it does exclude a sizable portion of the population from participation, which is the problem.

As more and more corporation’s services are delivered online in an attempt to look all web2.0 and maximise profits, this technocratic illuminato sees the vast digitally unwashed masses once again clammering at the gate to get in.
