Linking To Audible
You'd think a company like audible would make it easy to link to specific titles. Their CMS gives you messy URLs, but that's OK; one reason Tinderbox macros are nice is that they hide the complexity of things like amazon urls.
But, no -- the only way to link to audible titles, according to their tech support people, is to sign up for their affiliate program.
To do that, you just need to agree to a long document and sign up on this web page. But the javascript on this page is broken; it won't accept that my phone number has ten digits, even though it quite clearly does. Another long, long call with audible tech support yields no answer.
I'd have expected that whoever runs the affiliate program would want to know this right away, but that doesn't seem to be the way things work at audible. In any case, when I suggested that whoever manages the affiliate program might want to talk to me, they gave me the number of the PR director. Strange kind of org chart.
The PR director was not, in fact, the right contact. But at least he knew who could solve the problem, and once he got involved everyone was very nice.
