On our twitter feed, @worldlinecanada, we post #moneysavingtips on a daily basis. Here’s one brought too you from our YouTube Whiteboard Series on why you are paying too much for your home phone (if you’re not with us that is):
We’ll be posting these on a regular basis. If you want to dive in to what makes Worldline tick, stay tuned to the:
Tyson Fawcett scored the winner for the Barrie Colts as they dealt the Belleville Bulls a 3-1 loss Monday night in Game 7 of the Ontario Hockey League’s Eastern Conference final.
Barrie wins the series 4-3 and earns the Bobby Orr Trophy as the Eastern Conference champions.
Aaron Ekblad and Ryan O’Connor had the other Colts goals.
The Bulls got out to a hot start and held Barrie without a shot for the opening 12 minutes of the game. Belleville held a 1-0 lead off Quine tipping home a point shot on the power play until the Colts answered back with a blast from Ekblad to tie things 1-1 after 20 minutes.
Fawcett picked up the winning goal on the power play for Barrie, deflecting a wrister from O’Connor. O’Connor added some insurance at the 14:10 mark of the third period with a blast from the point that eluded Malcolm Subban.
Subban finished the night with 25 saves, while Mathias Niederberger made 36 saves in the win.
Both teams went 1 for 4 on the power play. Barrie will now face the London Knights in the OHL Championship for the J. Ross Robertson Cup.
Game 1 of that series is Friday night in London, Ont.
Worldline is a proud sponsor of the Colts, and wish them the best of luck in the finals.
We here at Worldline know that the best customer, or potential customer, is an educated customer.
With the onset of social media, never before have consumers had access to information that can help them make the best purchasing decision possible. It’s been a revolution. According to recent stats 75% of purchases made have been influenced by information found on social media.
So, if a company wants to continue to grow, they have to embrace social media. That’s why Worldline introduced this blog. That’s why we have launched our Worldline Facebook Page and our Twitter Feed.
We want to provide folks with the most information about Worldline that we can generate because we are 100% confident, that once people know about us, they’ll go with us.
And here’s the latest addition to our social media content suite:
We are going to begin pumping out videos on Worldline’s philosophy, on our products, on features etc., providing a wealth of information that our customers, and potential customers, might find useful.
Will they be riveting? Hey, Game of Thrones they are not, but they are quick, fun and informative.
Mike Brown, our VP of Product Development, was the first Guinea Pig to test the idea out. Here’s a screen test he did on our Digital Home Phone.
Rarely have I ever seen a man sweat so much. Being on camera is a weird experience, even for a short 2-minute clip, and Mike did a great job for his first try.*
So get ready for a new onslaught of Worldline information. Our existing customers will learn about features they perhaps weren’t aware of. And people looking to change their service will learn what hundreds of thousands of Canadians have already learned.
That they should be with Worldline.
*And yes, we know it’s dark. We’ll fix the lighting.
…someone who entered the Worldline Facebook 50/50 Contest. We just don’t know who yet.
It will take a couple of days to go through the list, eliminate spammers etc, and to pick and notify the winner.
Then we’ll post who that is all over the place. But first we want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who entered. To say this contest was a success is an understatement. Sure, we were looking to increase attention to the Worldline Facebook Page, but what we got was totally surprising:
Fantastic feedback from a bunch of our customers.
99% positive, our customers are a pretty satisfied bunch, but there were a few who had some issues that were bothering them – and they let us know about it.
Some of them really let us have it.
But that’s what we need to hear. We’re a pretty great company, but we are not perfect.
We’ll never get there of course, but we want to try to get as close as possible and the quickest way for us to improve is to get direct input from our most valuable asset, the folks who are using our services.
So, keep it coming. It’s all good.
Oh, and in May, be on the lookout for these:

Apr 26, 2013 (eMarketer)Cord-cutters on the rise, still a small share of population
Cord-cutting is coming to Canada—if slowly.
Media Technology Monitor reported that the share of the total population in Canada without a TV subscription service or off-air TV rose 1 percentage point in 2012 to 8%, after doubling in 2011 to 7%. That’s still a small share of the overall population, but it represents a growing number of residents who have decided they can still get all the TV programming they want without the subscription they don’t.
Media Technology Monitor noted that while these cord-cutters may be cancelling subscriptions (or, in the case of many younger residents, simply never setting cable service up when they set up house), they aren’t giving up TV content. They’re turning to the internet to stream shows to PCs, mobile devices and traditional television sets instead.
Cord-cutters are on the rise and TV providers clearly must address how they are going about their business.
@worldlinecanada I’d pay for cable if I could only pay for the stations I watch.50 bucks a month for 4 channels is insane.
