Segways on campus today!

Hey guys.

Normally I don't post in this forum (once in a great while), but I felt that this warranted a thread.

Walking through campus today, I saw a ton of people walking around with software handouts. Curious, I looked around the quad... to find a Microsoft van (they have vans?) and a booth, passing out OneNote software to students. They were advertising BSU's Technology Education.

The best part? They had a Segway on either side of the booth, decked out in Microsoft gear. I had never seen a Segway with covers for the wheels, or with advertisements all over it (small billboards off the handlebars, etc.), save for Stu's Segway. I was curious... is this the new thing now? Have you seen any other rolling advertisements?

Re: Segways on campus today!

At the state fair they have a Segwa tour company and they have some of those advertisements. I know of a company that makes them, but I don't have the link.

Not a huge fan of Microsoft using them though.....

Re: Segways on campus today!

Wow, I usually don't post in this forum either! However, I wanted to let Amanda know that she's not alone with advertising segways invading campus. I was walking down Bruinwalk and I saw a fleet of Microsoft people on segways handing out the OneNote software during Welcome Week.

I guess with hundreds of clubs handing out stuff on UCLA's campus this week, Microsoft needed to find a way to stand out and they sure did. I saw dozens of eager freshmen circled around the segways.

Comcast's people were on segways the other day.

AOL for Broadband uses Segways as promotional tools as well.
