Faux-Patriotic Spam Post 9/11
Yuck, yuck, yuck. I just got my second email of the day from someone in the online marketing industry trying to sell me something with a faux-Patriotic message. You know — we have to stand strong against the enemy, keep our economy going, so buy my thing! In this case the email was from Andy Batkin, founder of Digitrends.
Andy was the first person to publish a newsletter on the topic of interactive marketing waaay back in 1994. The fact that he’s now using a slimy email marketing pitch to sell tickets to an Internet marketing-related event is inexcusable. He knows better! (Also, he left the subject line of the email blank — by mistake? on purpose? — which is a classic spam-marketing move.) Tisk, tisk.
