Some 20% of top brand marketers continue to send additional emails to consumers, even after they confirm requests from those consumers to “unsubscribe” from an email marketing list, according to a research study from Return Path, MarketingCharts writes. - webosapien (Burcu Tüzün)

# Just over a quarter of companies asked individuals who were unsubscribing to confirm their email address, a step that helps assure that the correct individual is unsubscribed. # A handful of companies are still requiring that the subscriber log-in to unsubscribe, which is not compliant with the recently updated CAN-SPAM Act. # Two companies required subscribers to send an email to request to unsubscribe, a process that is often perceived as inconvenient by the subscriber. # Just two companies used the landing page to remind subscribers of the benefits the email program was providing them. # Only two of the companies studied took advantage of the opt-out process to learn how they could improve their email program. They included a few simple survey questions on the landing page to help them understand why customers were unsubscribing and how they could do better. - webosapien (Burcu Tüzün)

Tina, listen to the interview. People are going to lose their jobs. It's sad, but it is going to happen eventually. Delaying it will just make it worse (i.e. more jobs lost, longer time without jobs) - Chris White

Could have told you that back in January when I got laid off. And then every month after that as I've struggled to even get temp work. - Mathew Ballard

according to something i read on national geographic: Jupiter and Venus are particularly bright, partly because both have highly reflective clouds that completely envelop them, but also because Venus is Earth's closest neighbor while Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. "This is set to be the best planetary gathering of the year, simply because it involves three of the brightest objects in the sky after the sun," said Geza Gyuk, director of astronomy at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. "As long as you have clear skies in the early part of the evening, this is one astronomical event that's hard to miss." - Cee Bee

It was wonderful last night! For some reason, though, it reminded me of a celestial shuttlecock... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Could I talk any of you into accepting a Top Ten FriendFeed Friends Challenge similar to the TwiTip Twitter Challenge? http://www.growmap.com/friendf... (This post and your two prior lists are already linked in, Mike.) - Internet Strategist

Nice idea for a post, but its all very echo chamber people. How about those outside SoMe to get diversity of info? - HollowMarkeD

Hi MiniMage. You're right. Tamar pointed that out as well. It is just a feed. My mistake. I'm fairly new here and saw their excellent blog content and didn't think to verify they were active too. One good thing about making mistakes it that it does attract more comments. :-) I'm not new to blogging but I still make plenty of them. - Internet Strategist

What is going on here -- I can't think of anybody that would wear or buy this crap or even want to look at it. Must be some sort of viral marketing campaign. - Brian Sullivan

Yes but I also think it can actually keep you behind a computer or interface vs actual human contact. - orionstarr

I hate living in apartments. It is so great back at my paternal home where I have a verandah, a backyard; everything. - Parth Awasthi

Siddharth, that is very nice. So sad the city is taking your property. - Anika Malone

Thanks! Actually we had to sell most of our property to a private developer, because as our farm came within the urban zone, the City itself could've tried to purchase our land to develop into plots to build houses. However, they pay much less than a private developer would, so we chose to sell to the latter.That didn't work out too well for us either, because we got shafted on the deal (the developer knew that a major new highway project was coming up nearby, and that increased property values in our area) - Siddharth Deb
