Kids Parties of the 21st Century

October 18th, 2005

When McDonalds installed Wifi in 6,000 of its locations, I thought it was the most bone headed idea ever. I was wrong. Very wrong.

I thought that since business travelers with Big Mac smudged fingers wouldn’t be pulling out their Thinkpads in Mickey D’s then it was a bad idea. How narrow sighted of me.

Nintendo announced that it would offer free Wifi for its Nintendo DS users in McDonalds. The deal let’s the kids play Mario Kart against each other.

What a smart move. This will no doubt add steroids to the McDonald’s party rooms over the nation. Super-sized ethical concerns or not, it’s a great marketing ploy for both Nintendo and McDonalds.

    I think it’s great when someone can admit their mistakes. 50-50 hindsight is amazing, like why didn’t I buy google at IPO? lol
