MailChimp Annual Report
- farabove 13y agoHow much was the revenue?
- cpncrunch 13y agoWhat percentage of your email was spam?
- TrainedMonkey 13y agoLooks like they detect abuse and try to shut that down: http://mailchimp.com/omnivore/ http://mailchimp.com/omnivore/ [My definition of spam is selective, and basically includes all the mail that I do not want.]
- cpncrunch 13y agoWell I still get a fair amount of spam through mailchimp - well over 50% of emails received from them are from spammers who have harvested or purchased an email address. Having said that, mailchimp are probably one of the most proactive bulk mailers in terms of responding to abuse reports. It would just be nice if they could stop it BEFORE the spam is sent. Here's a suggestion: fine customers $1000/email if they email purchased/harvested email addresses.

- kevinconroy 13y agoThey do better than that - if you get high spam complaints on your email (>2% approx. equals high), your account will be locked. Even if you've been a paying customer for months. If you go >1% they'll put you on double secret probation and you have to explain why it's actually totally legit for one of your campaigns to have such a rate and promise never to do what you did to cause that again to get it reinstated. The second part is from personal experience. Although not a spammer, any list that you harvest from third-parties has an inherently high spam rate and MailChimp will catch it fast.
- cordite 13y agoThat was really fun to scroll through!
- ktrgardiner 13y agoI loved this up until the end when I went to hit the back button. Clearly the last number should be 29 (or whatever it actually is but I think it's somewhere around that): the number of times you'll have to hit back to get to the last page you were on. That's always a pain. Good thing they made up for it beforehand by making such a great report.
- jusben1369 13y agoYes! Came here to write the same thing.
- spindritf 13y agoI know that this is a general complaint about breaking a common feature but in case someone really doesn't know: right-click the back button in your browser and choose how far back you want to go from the list. Works at least in Chrome and Firefox.
- ancarda 13y ago>I know that this is a general complaint about breaking a common feature Then stop breaking it.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoExcept in this case even if you right click, the list of 'back' that you had to go through was off the end of the page. So really it was easier to just to type news.ycombinator.com in the URL bar. That is fairly poor design in my opinion.
- nickburlett 13y agoIt gets worse: if you scroll up and down through the page several times, there are so many history items that Chrome has forgotten all about HN and I can't get back there via the back button no matter how many times I press it.
- 8ig8 13y ago∞ Number of back clicks to get you back.
- dijit 13y agolooks like it's blocked in russia :O

- kwijibob 13y agoI got to the bottom and thought: "Wow this looks like an interesting service. I would like to go to their home page and check it out" Then I clicked on the logo.... nothing. No link anywhere. Like I am meant to go up to the URL and edit it like an animal!
- iLoch 13y agoLink worked for me! I wonder if there's some MailChimps reading HN.
- pan69 13y ago> 2.98 HOURS OF DOWNTIME I don't get this. 2 hours and 98 minutes? Not sure how to read this...

- peterjancelis 13y ago"18 new users in North Korea" How do you avoid violating US sanctions on North Korea?
- coherentpony 13y agoThis scrolls really slowly for me. Anyone else?
