Re: Information Overload
by Mike Cohen on Jun 4, 2009 at 1:02:56 pm

We had a similar issue. Our .com emails had been around since 1995 and were clogged with spam. We switched to .net in 2004 but people were hesitant to lose their identity so we left the .com addresses forwarding to our .net inboxes, which kept the spam coming. Once we erased the .com addresses completely the spam vanished.

We have heard about using gmail to manage non-gmail email but I have the same concern as Franklin - google already controls commerce to some degree, why give them more control?

One problem is vague subject lines. If a thread goes back and forth for weekes and the subject line never changes you then need to search for the particular communication you are looking for. I try to change the subject line even when responding to an email just to be more specific. The problem with doing this is that people who view as threads by subject line won't be too happy.

Mike
