Twitter spam

Monday, February 18th, 2013 | Tech

I’m drawing a line across the emails that Twitter continue to send me.

For months and months they have continued to send me updates on what is going on, what people have saying, stuff that isn’t even an interaction with me. Every single time I get such an email, I click the unsubscribe found at the bottom of the email, and Twitter.com appears to tell me I will no longer receive that kind of notification.

But I continue to get them.

No matter how many times, no matter how many different notifications I turn off, they find some new category to send me emails. So enough is enough. Any future emails are getting forwarded to MailFoundry’s spam monitor address and flagged as spam in my own email client.

Sometimes even the big boys get it wrong

Hello,

A few minutes ago a member of our Engineering staff crafted an email to test email templates on our PBA system. This email was destined for internal use and was never meant to be sent out to our customer base.

Unfortunately, the mail template was misconfigured, and was sent to all current customers on our PBA system.

These people are responsible for keeping my entire business up and running :D.

My inbox is empty!

Awwww yeah.

For the first time, like, ever, my inbox is empty. Totally empty. This is a historic day.
