I am an idiot

Rants & Raves - Rants

This evening I sent out an email to everyone in my contacts and included a one liner about a company I have been fueding with for months over $25. bucks. I don't know why I did it but I am still bent out of shape over it and hate that these people think if they ignore me I will just go away. I want everyone to know how terrible these people are. The problem is that I realize that yahoo saves every email address you ever send a message to, but I was not smart enough to think I might need to edit that list. What a moron... Although I want to get the word out about this great new site we have here I don't like the idea of mass emails. Plus my first one just came around and bit me... On the bright side I suppose I got their attention? They finally replied to one of my messages...

mass emails
written by Clifford Scott Carson , May 14, 2009

I don't send out mass emails. I always found them impersonal, like the person was too lazy to send it to me directly. Whenever anyone sends me an email that includes ALL of the email addresses in their book, I'm wondering, "what are you thinking?" Now everyone has access to everyone you correspond with. It's also provides people with information to whom you know. Perhaps not such a big deal, but it's still better to send emails individually. Gives it that personal touch and people are more apt to apply if they think it's being sent to them individually. When I open a mass email, I think, "oh I don't need to apply to this". In a way, it reminds me of spam or junk mail.

BCC or Mail Chimp
written by Lucy , May 15, 2009

BCC seems to work fine for some of those mass mailings in your contact list. Or you could use an email marketing service. Many are free for up to 100 users - like one of my favorites Mail Chimp.
