Is it possible to be featured in a huge event's official iPhone app in a more stupid way?
I've waited for it for some time, and it finally arrived - the MIDEM application for iPhone, with news, conference schedule, and many other cool features that will help me and anyone attending the trade fair.
But after 5 minutes of using the app I headed to the More -> Photos section to see... myself, standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
WTF?
No, I know how it got there - I created a photo album on Flickr after last year's MIDEM, and someone behind the app found it searching for relevant titles and tags, obviously. And on our road to Cannes, I and my boss were in Berlin. But why, tell me, why were these pictures smartly removed from the app in few days after the launch, and then added back two more days later??
Anyway, this is a fun beginning of the event - look forward to it.
