Back in the early 1990s, email was a privilege granted only to those who could prove they needed it. Now, it has turned into a nuisance that's costing companies millions. We may feel that we have it under control, but not only do we check email more often than we realise, but the interruptions caused are more detrimental than was previously thought. In a study last year, Dr Thomas Jackson of Loughborough University found that ...

Bloggers and Web developers know better than to simply toss their e-mail addresses on their blogs and sites these days unless they have exceptional spam filtering. At the same time, if you're a site owner and you want to be able to connect with your readers when they have concerns or comments, you have a dilemma if you don't want to provide an e-mail address and risk getting spammed, or you don't want to integrate ...

Google Calendar is a great, if not the best available tool to share calendars. However, it’s tedious to edit and keep track of it via the web interface. In saving time, integration is your best friend. Naturally, there is a vast amount of addons and tools to sync, integrate and simply work more efficiently with Google Calendar. For example you can sync it with mobile devices like the Blackberry or iPhone using GoogleSync. Then you ...

After 15 years or so of marketing via email, a solid body of knowledge and best practices is evolving, based on both experience and research. However, the industry still hasn’t reached consensus on a number of fundamental precepts in email marketing. In these “debates,” followers of each side often make compelling, even impassioned, arguments why their view should prevail. I initially came up with a list of about eight disagreements, but narrowed it to three ...

If you’ve ever sent me a large file through email, you probably know how much I hate it. No one escapes a lecture! Just because GMail and other services give you gigabytes of storage, doesn’t mean that it’s okay to send really large attachments. I was happy to read that one my favorite blogs posted about the subject today. From the Microsoft Office Outlook Team Blog: Putting any issues with your e-mail service provider’s limits ...

The hacker uploaded a trojan to these hosting packages and so these three servers were placed on anti-spam blacklists.All three website owners have been contacted now and their FTP passwords reset. The offending files have been removed and the servers should be fully out of the blacklists soon. In the meantime for any users of the following servers they ...

Se non disponiamo di WinZip o di software simili e dobbiamo comprimere file al volo ShrinkFile potrebbe tornare utile. Si tratta di uno strumento per zippare file online. Basta scegliere i file dal computer, caricarli e attendere un link da dove scaricare l’archivio ZIP che rimarrà online per tutta una settimana e quindi può essere anche facilmente condiviso via email. Sempre meglio comunque disporre di applicazioni da desktop e ce ne sono di ottime anche ...

Le client de messagerie n’est pas à négliger lorsque l’on cherche à gagner un peu de temps durant sa journée sur le web. Non seulement c’est encore l’un des outils dont nous nous servons le plus régulièrement mais il s’adresse aussi à l’utilisateur lambda. Tout le monde n’a pas l’utilité d’un agrégateur ou de flux RSS mais le bon vieux mail est ancré dans les habitudes, même votre grand-mère sait s’en servir ;) Sauf qu’ici ...

It’s an Extension for Firefox that allows you, as the user, to decide what Ubiquity should do. This happens by giving Ubiquity commands. On the developer end, it allows you to create commands that other people can subscribe to and use. I installed Ubiquity this ...

Tinymail.me es una interesante opción para evitar divulgar directamente vuestro correo electrónico en la web. Se trata de una aplicación que camufla la dirección de email mostrando solamente parte de ella. Cuando las personas accedan al texto divulgado tendrán que resolver un captcha para poder acceder a la dirección real. Una buena opción para escapar de las aplicaciones que capturan direcciones por internet para realizar spam a diestro y siniestro. Gracias Luis por el enlace.

When describing Twitter, I use a number of analogies. Most commonly, I think of Twitter as something like a slow-motion chatroom, or even a collection of away messages. I’ve got another one to add to this list: subject-only email. This new analogy actually comes from my use of the iPhone, where the Twitter interface isn’t all that different from the mail interface. Twitter displays a sender and a brief message, which mirrors the sender and ...

The behavior of most email subscribers proves that the promise of email marketing is still more appealing than the actual email marketing received. Think about it. Lots of people opt in. Not many subscribers are active. The variance in those two numbers is what I call the “optimization opportunity” for your program. Throw away your list growth metrics — they mean nothing to the bottom line. Instead, adopt more meaningful measures of ROI that reflect ...
