Automated E-Mail – Too Much?
I recently posted something on Pownce that basically went along the lines of me failing to receive too many e-mails from actual humans. I may receive 10 – 20 e-mails a day, and almost all (or all of them) are automated messages sent from a website, such as Digg, Pownce, or Facebook. I know a lot of people will disable these notifications, but I find them useful – mainly because I wouldn’t visit the site otherwise (with the exception of Digg, which is my home page). Kay, so maybe I’m not the most popular person in the world. I get my human-sent e-mail once and a while, and heck, I’ve even had a few e-mail conversations. (We all know how common those are). I’m just wondering what the heck my problem is. I don’t think I actually have a problem, I just love my notifications and newsletters. Right? …Right?

I read somewhere that the average users email box is filled with over 90% SPAM and 50% of the remaining 10% is from automated sources (message boards, forums, etc). I think that the SPAM number is actually pretty low especially when you look at what your providers SPAM filter picks up, but I would have to agree that whatever is left over more than 50% of it has to be from automated sources that you knowingly signed up for.
It is kind of cool actually getting an email from an actual person though.

Anyways, yeah thats true. I hate how most of them are stupid spam.
Are yours about Mens’s ******* I think NOT! Then why MINE?! Geeze. Enlarge your partners size! How awkward can that get when you mom is on your e-mail too? (I know, privacy, but, I have nothing really to hide). We don’t get fazed by it anymore.
Tch.
I like newsletters. They keep me informed and also, When I actually GO to that place, I can get the sweet deals since I am oh so cool.
I thought I e-mail you a lot? Ah well. I shall do that more often then!
Tino, you are quite popular. With the ladies…..*giggles* like her…you know. Not Miley. Hell no.
