Survey: 29% Bought Spam Email Products, But Who Cares?

by Lee Mathews Aug 20th 2008

Results from a new survey by Marshal are in, and apparently 29% percent of the respondents to a recent survey admitted they made purchases from spam messages. That number is up from a 2004 survey in which only 20% admitted doing so. I was all set to vent about people getting sucked in when I realized something: who cares?

Marshal's VP of Products, Bradley Anstis, said "Many of us often question ourselves, why is there so much spam? The answer is, enough people are purchasing products from spam to make it a worthwhile and profitable endeavour for spammers."

Well duh. Thanks for the press release!

CircleUp answers your questions - DLS interview

by Brad Linder Jul 13th 2007

CircleUp
If you need to find out what your spouse wants for dinner, a quick phone call or email will suffice. But if you need to know what's the best place to hold a campaign rally in a city you've never been to, you might want to ask a few hundred or thousand people on your mailing list. But managing the results could be a full time job.

That's where CircleUp comes in. CircleUp provides the tools to ask a large group of people a question over email or instant messenger, and to manage the answers in an easy to digest way. We caught up with CircleUp chief marketing officer Tom Kuhr at the Digital Life press preview last night, and he explained how it works.

CircleUp is currently in public beta, with a final release expected sometime this fall. It's a free service, that will be supported by advertising.

Build cool forms with Icebrrg

by Amber Rhea Oct 24th 2006

Icebrrg Yes, I know, bad pun. Sorry.

Anyway... if you need forms of any kind for your web site but don't have the time to program one from scratch (or the money to pay someone else to do it!), Icebrrg might be the solution for you. It lets you easily create a variety of forms - surveys, contact forms, job applications, invitations - through a simple WYSIWYG interface. Icebrrg handles all the back-end logic and data collection for you.

One huge benefit of using Icebrrg to build forms instead of a hosting them on a third-party site is that the forms you create will match the look and feel of your site. You can create an account for free and find out if Icebrrg fits your needs. The free account limits you to a maximum of three forms and ten fields, and doesn't include data storage options, but paid plans start at an affordable $9/month.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
