Have you unsubscribed from Groupon’s email notifications?  If not…you should….well, not entirely but you’re in for a great laugh if you do.

Next time you receive a Groupon email message, click the unsubscribe link and unsubscribe from all Groupon’s email notifications.  After submitting your request you’ll see what appears to be a live web cam of “Derrick” who is apparently responsible for the email blast notifications at Groupon.

The message says, “Sorry to see you go, but we’d like to introduce you to Derrick…he’s the one who thought you’d enjoy receiving the email notifications.”  It then gives you the option to “Punish Derrick”…..so I did.  What happens next was so hilarious that I nearly fell out of my chair.  After the punishment ended, it asked if I felt bad and would like to resubscribe.  For their creativity I just had to.

So for those of you who have sites dependent upon members staying with your notifications, please consider having something like this added to your site by Justice Web Solutions, who knows…you may just save a member by punishing one of your own employees.

First, make an mp3 version of the ringtone.  My experience says use Audacity to take your clip and really boost the audio on it.  The reason is once you xfer and compress it…sometimes the sound isn’t that loud as a ringtone on your phone.  Save the mp3 somewhere on your computer.

Next, connect your LG Dare to your computer via the USB cable.  Go to Settings and Tools, Tools, USB Mass Storage.  Let the system connect to your computer.  Don’t worry if you don’t see the Windows autoplay popup right away.  For some reason it takes like 15 – 30 seconds for it to appear.

Now copy the mp3, and paste it into the my sounds directory on your phone.  Disconnect the USB mass storage by clicking Exit on your phone.

Now go to your media center, music and sounds, my sounds, and then click not on the play button of your sound, but the name itself.  A popup will come up asking what you want to do with the file.  Click Send and send it to your own cell phone number.

When the text message comes in you’ll want to click the little page looking button at the far bottom corner of your phone screen to allow you to “Save as Ringtone”.  Click that and you’re all set!!!  Happy ringtone making.
