She made a mistake with the CC vs. BCC field. OK, I get that. It wasn't intentional, obviously, since Beth would know the ramifications. That they are calling her press release “spam” is absurd. She's just promoting some book. She made up a mailing list, and sent the release. Come on, get real. That's what delete key is for. This wasn't a Nigerian 419 get-rich mailing scam. No sales of Viagra or Vailum or a master's degree for $100. Plus no one is faulting the recipients who are mistakenly hitting Reply All. And if auto-responders are doing this, fire the tech wizard who set up your email servers. Auto-responders should go back to the sender only, NOT the CC list. It amazes me how people still have this prima donna attitude about getting pitched, and worse, how they think their email addresses are sacred. The promoters offering acai berries, Rolex watches and security alert logins for your bank accounts are the ones to be vilified. Instead, we go after Brody, the low-hanging fruit. Trash her business and spam her clients with hate mail. Welcome to new media. Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:23:54 +0000 http://socialmedia.biz/2009/08/19/i-would-have-appreciated-an-apology/#IDComment31243343
