A Better “Boss Button”?


Not that you would ever watch cartoons at work, but I was noticing that TBS.com has a "boss button" on its site, just like on PC video games.

When you hit the button, you get an unassuming spreadsheet:

Nice, but wouldn't it be even better to link to Cisco's recently updated Small Business Switches models comparison page (below)? Much more satisfying, I think, and certainly more productive!

Or, alternatively, our very nice enterprise switches comparison page.

Just a thought. Enjoy!

And what is wrong with good old ALT+TAB?

Always have 2 apps open when you’re up to no good wink

New feature suggestion for the Boss Button.

IP based GEO location detection to pull up an appropriate spreadsheet.

My boss would wonder what we were doing in the US!

(I know this isn’t the purpose of the post but just a though for those Boos Button creators out there)

Well, I certainly applaud your marketing creativity!  I never would have thought of pitching my product marketing comparison chart as a Boss Button.  wink

What is the function of the spreadsheet?

Good point about the dollars vs Euros vs Pounds Sterling vs Yen etc… all the more reason to show a nice router comparison table!
