Would you "spam" to get big fast?
- master54 19y agoI'm not referring to those blatant buy-a-mailing-list-and-spam kinda process. I'm talking about the more subtle invitation "spam" executed by the likes of plaxo, hi5 etc.
- brlewis 19y agoLike this? http://blog.plaxo.com/archives/2005/12/ http://blog.plaxo.com/archives/2005/12/ Doesn't sound like spam to me.
- sharpshoot 19y agoI would advocate spamming even if its cringeworthy. Bebo and MySpace would be nowhere without a) birthday alarm traffic and b) a mailing list of 500,000 people respectively. Similarly facebook spammed all of harvards mailing lists. In business you make one decision - which is to make it big or die. Even if spamming hurts - if you have a compellign enough service go for broke. Even spamming counts.
- master54 19y agoHow does teenwag spam every single site with an ounch of visitor anyway? They seems to have spammed USENET, digg, reddit, this site. Do they automate it or hire cheap labor to do it manually?
- brianmckenzie 19y agoApparently they're 14-year-olds, so they have a lot of time on their hands. Either that or they've figured out how to implement those trendy captioned photos with real cats.
- medfoer 19y agothanks sharpshoot you get the useful part of letting people know
- andre 19y agoIt all depends on the definition of the "spam".
- sabat 19y agoIf I was trying to make a site that will last, then no, because I'd feel dirty -- and it's a dirty way to start out.
- dfranke 19y agoSpam is a worse crime than murder. Big spammers like Ralsky send enough spam to waste many lifetimes' worth of people's time. Just because the damage is spread out over a large number of people doesn't make that fact any less heinous.
