Andy Markley A rising tide of spam: Junk e-mail will account for 60 percent of all e-mail traffic by the middle of next year, rising from 50 percent this year and threatening the efforts of legitimate marketers to reach potential customers, the market research firm Gartner said. Marketers must act immediately to differentiate their e-mail pitches from junk e-mail or risk being blocked by content managers, spam-blocking software and Internet service providers, Gartner said. It added that such barriers will undermine 80 percent of all e-mail marketing campaigns by 2005. IHT 1:12:36 PM     Who the Heck Am I Supposed to Yell At? For about the zillionth time, some damn flash-heavy site that takes forever to load ends up making all my browser windows crash. NOT just the one that has the problem, but all of them I had open. Thanks loads for once again making sure that I'll have to spend hours tomorrow retracing my research steps. Guess it's all my fault for simply wanting an episode title to label the videotape I made of tonight's Angel. Wouldn't have even bothered with that site if I didn't watch their tv shows. (Good tv—crappy website. Well, what I could see of it before it crashed looked good, but the fact it crashed IE kind of proves it's garbage.) Could the problem possibly be web designers who think I have nothing better to do than wait around for their excessively bloated pages to load? Or Microsoft not bothering to ever fix their browser software to keep it from shutting down everything because of one specific issue with one specific web page? I keep wondering why I bothered to spend the money on a really good computer. Stupid me, thinking I'd quit having this sort of problem when I finally had lots of RAM and a fast processor... 2:03:29 AM     © Copyright 2005 Carol Andrus. Last update: 8/25/2005; 4:40:12 PM.
