Due to being in a similar business space (they have a google maps based bike route planner), I signed up for an account to check it out. They send out a spam newsletter once a day filled with fad dieting aimed towards fitness minded people. It's a pretty shady endeavor.
- jchrisa 16y agoA geek's shady can be a normal's valuable. I've met more than one fitness minded person who told me I should sign up for the livestrong newsletter. Apparently it really hits the spot for a certain demographic. Nothing wrong with that. Never underestimate how far you are from the mainstream.
- acangiano 16y agoA million times, yes. What geeks would consider spam, often ends up being roasted ham for regular people. As web entrepreneurs we must not forget this. If we do, we'll needlessly be judgmental of other people's work, as well as missing out on good opportunities that appeal to mainstream web users.
- cullenking 16y agoNot to be too contrarian, but you should let your friend know that much of what they espouse is unhealthy. Atkins was a passing fad, but, it's the sort of thing they'd tout like crazy on there...I understand that some people enjoy this sort of thing, I mean viagra spam is sent out for a reason, it doesn't mean I need to stoop to it.
