What is happening to the good old days when everyone online had his email address and your profile information just for yourself and close colleagues now my inbox has to suffer from the weight of mails from nowhere. I wont call it spam just uninvited email campaigns.
My example starts with this bata shoe email campaign. I have never visited their website or signed up for their newsletter but bam I always find them in my inbox. I was not worried much about the emails until when today I decided that I no loger need them. I looked at the email and found the unsubscribe link at the bottom. ‘This is cool’ I said to myself. No need to worry about the newsletter anymore. But this was not the case it is far much worse. The link was dead!
what does this mean that I can not control the emails that are sent to me from bata. In this case the uninvited email campaign as much as I did not mind it turns out to be spam!
That is just one case I also found something disgusting with some facebook apps. What you can call a Facebook scam. Why should you create an app that will send messages to your friends with a stupid link.
Have you seen something like
The other bad facebook app is the profile peekers app. It seems fun to know who is tracking you but you know what! that id outlawed by facebook. Facebook does not avail that kind of information to facebook apps and an app claiming to do that should be reported. Such claims are obviously false and you get lies. If I lies that one of your friends visits your profile page 20 times a day you would start wondering what they are up to. That kind of information would rather remain unknown to give all facebook users peace of mind.
