email: Thou Shalt not use AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo etc. for business
- 09/24/10 12:39 AM
I am doing a little experiment. The experiment is about how the general public sees emails sent from a real estate agent depending on how they choose to receive their email: Yahoo Google's gmail Those posts are about consumers choice of email. In the comments on my Yahoo post and my Google gmail post about how consumers see their email from their agent based on their choice of email all some ActiveRain members seem to want to talk about is other real estate agents who use ______ (fill in the blank with Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, AOL email) how unprofessional those agents (23 comments)

Free gmail from Google.... this is an ongoing experiment... how the General Public sees our email coming from our business addresses. NO email is being sent from a FREE account. The emails are coming from my business address. The GENERAL public is made up of clients, customers, prospects... people in GENERAL, not real estate insiders (you... maybe me.) I could be wrong but I believe most consumers use FREE email. The general public uses the email their business provides or a free email address from Google (gmail), Yahoo, AOL... a hotmail account. You really do not have a choice in what (64 comments)
email: Yikes Yahoo hijacked your CLIENTS email...

Yikes Yahoo hijacked your CLIENTS email... Not my clients... or maybe my clients too. That is part of a title written by another ActiveRain member. It is part of a Members Only post so if I told you what the post or comments say I'd have to kill you. The ActiveRain Guidelines say so.. Or something like that. Based on reading a Members Only (talking to peers... to only those who are members of ActiveRain) post I did a little experiment on Gmail and Yahoo mail to see what it looks like on the other end... a clients email. The "Yikes (12 comments)

Is your MLS, board of Realtors, brokerage progressive? Are they on the cutting edge? Marc Davison wrote Real Estate's White Rabbit about traditional brands like Betty Crocker, Kraft Foods and Monopoly having an iPhone App. And about Zillow's iPhone App What did traditional real estate say??? Some of the comments on Davison's post are about how the Blackberry outsells the iPhone... about how we need to use Blackberry's for business.... It's not about us. Davison wrote: "Traditional real estate is always a day late on understanding its customer and a dollar short on shifting quickly to meet their needs. As long (15 comments)
McAfee did a report about the Carbon Footprint of email spam Save a Tree It's 12 pages so "Save a Tree" don't print it out... isn't "Save a Tree" kind of 1969? The first Earth Day was in 1969. We went on a field trip to ??? in Mrs. Williamson's class in school and learned about ecology, conservation... we learned about "saving a tree" I think. We've come so far, 2009 it's all about the "Carbon Footprint." I understood "Save a Tree" better. Carbon Footprint of email spam I don't know that the McAfee report offers anything that WE (2 comments)

Personal A couple of days ago I got a contact message via ActiveRain from a hotmail address about someone I "Associate with" on ActiveRain. I have the individual named in the email on my ActiveRain Associate list. I believe she put me on her ActiveRain Associate's list. I believe the hotmail address (using someone else's name) found me on her Associate list. I am NOT linking to her Associate list for obvious reasons but I am on a number of ActiveRainers Associates lists. The email I got from the hotmail address via ActiveRain: "I wouldn't let people know that you (18 comments)
email: We are not all created equal

We are not all created equal when it comes to email spam. "Summary of junk emails blocked - 579 Junk Emails Blocked" That's one days blocked spam in ONE mailbox.... that is usually about what is in it each day... 400 to 600... then there are those CraZy spam days... that does not count the replica watch emails, the Viagra ads, etc. that slip through for some reason. Or the broadcast emails from local builders, lenders etc. I have NO time to read that stuff because I get so much spam. A, M, S , R, P, Q, Z, Y (19 comments)
Happy Birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy Birthday dear SPAAAAAM Happy Birthday to you! e-mail SPAM that is. When I saw this via Darren Rowse on Twitter. Happy Birthday to e-mail SPAM I thought of the meat from Hormel first when I saw SPAM was having a birthday but I think the meat is from WWII. I primarily use three mailboxes / addresses. The primary address the SPAM filter usually catches anywhere from 300 to 500 emails but this week on Tuesday there were over 1100 SPAM messages caught. There's two other mail boxes.... one does not get any spam... the other is a nightmare, not as much as (26 comments)
