Que es?
The Weblog of Brett Singer. Bringing the world what it needs most - a blog.

Note: Sorry about all of the 'hot deals' entries (someone referred to this blog as CorporateShill.com).
The deals and things are being fed into Multineedia.com. We will soon move the deals category over to Multineedia so you don't have to read it, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Web irritation of the day - email edition

People who send email with no subject. This is usually folks with AOL accounts, but not always. The main problem from a practical standpoint is that my spam filter frequently tags such mail as spam, because, you know, it has no subject, so who the hell is sending it? I understand that this may be unfair, but the truth is, JUST ADD A SUBJECT. It'll take you, what, four seconds? This is especially true of someone I don't know who is sending me mail. That is, people I know tend to (a) put a subject on the message and (b) if they don't, they are likely to be whitelisted and won't get tagged as spam, PLUS (c) I know them, so it's not such a big deal that they aren't putting in a subject line. Someone who I don't know, they should be MORE inclined to put in a subject line, not less. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Oy.
