A Crisis of Confidence and Attitude
There is no avoiding hearing about the plight of Home Builders and the Automotive Industry in today’s headlines. Even Toyota and Honda sales were down as much as 30% in November. So it is no longer a fact that American consumers are just avoiding the offerings of the domestic automaker. They are avoiding ANY big ticket commitment. Granted the October “shock to the system” was monumental. Customer’s have headed for the hills...or have they? I do consulting work in the Home Building industry and found that our traffic hasn’t been off as much as our sales over the past 60 days. We have prospects who select a new home, pick it apart (which in the past was a buying signal), make offers and then “freeze up”. All objections and excuses have been overcome but they cannot “pull the trigger”. Why is this?

Confessions of a REFORMED Twitter Spammer
I HATE spam just as much as you do I promise! I already receive over 100 legitimate emails each day and if you were to add the amount of spam messages I get I’d say the number would be closer to 1,000. Thank God for spam filters! If you couple this hatred with the fact that I wholeheartedly believe in working hard to attract highly targeted visitors to your website and not simply build traffic simply for the sake of building traffic, you may find it difficult to believe how I fell into the trap … that is unless you’ve fallen in the trap as well.
Don’t Be A Twammer
I hate spam. Over the years I’ve been an investor in a number of companies that address the spam problem, including Postini and Return Path. I’ve also been involved in lots of other companies in the email ecosystem and spam has always been something I’ve paid close attention to.
Email Spam, Forum Spam, and General Online Conduct
E-mail spam is the most common form of internet spamming. It involves sending unsolicited commercial messages to many recipients. Unlike legitimate commercial e-mail, spam is generally sent without the explicit permission of the recipients, and frequently contains various tricks to bypass e-mail filtering. The most dedicated spammers are often those making a great deal of money, or engaged in illegal or immoral activities, such as pornography, online casinos, and internet scams. Due to the negative image caused by marketing with SPAM, it is very important not to engage in the activities of Bulk Messaging and other SPAM-like activities, like falsifying an internet identity to promote a product or service.
