Issue # 205 (09-29-2003)

Peer (to Peer) Pressure

Balancing between what's required of you, what's expected of you, what works, what doesn't, and more importantly... what YOU want to do, can make for some very long nights for we Web masters.

In the Crosshairs
First, let me apologize for the delay between Gazette issues. I had originally intended to follow up our 9/11 special edition with a normal Gazette that weekend, but time slipped away from me. As I got to thinking about putting this issue together, and in looking at the "schedule" for the next few issues (an advertiser asked me when the next one was coming out), I realized that we don't really have a schedule. The Gazette seems to just go out whenever the mood hits. Not very newsletter-like (or standardized) is it? So, I've made an "executive decision" (which really amounts to a sticky pad on my monitor) to put out the Gazette every single Sunday, to add some more interesting sections to it, to keep it shorter yet still packed full of useful, compelling information, and to link every Gazette article to a discussion in the forums. Essentially, I'm setting my own standard, one of better organization (so that you, as the user, get what you expect where you expect it), and one of more consistent timing (so that you get it when you expect to get it). No more "lone gunman" syndrome here The Gazette is going to be more reliable, more dependable, and more of what you expect, while still having just enough "John" in there to make it a good read each week. Hope you like it.

Thank you for your review, I will benefit from your suggestions. I have one
question though. You said "In the source, you really need a meta description
for each page just as you do with any web site." How do I do this with blogger?

This "Scumbag of the Week" article is irresponsible. I had not trouble at all in receiving the following response from SpamArrest:

"Hi James,

Thank you for your email.

James, what you see there is absolutely wrong and is done to misguide our users and our new customers from Spam Arrest. We have over 1.5 million customers with us including you. You have been with us for a very long time, James. You can check with any of your contacts whether they have received any junk emails from us. We never do such a thing and its completely against our ethics! We hate spam as much as you do and so, along with stopping it, we make sure that none of our customer's emails are noted as spam. We warn our customers from sending bulk emails about the fact that their contacts might misunderstand their bulk emails as spam and will turn against them and Spam Arrest. A company following only such healthy practices can never do such a thing like spamming. What we value the most is our customer's trust and we will make all efforts to retain that in the best way possible. We never admit your personal information to any third party under whatsoever circumstances. You will find a whole lot of misleading things like this in Internet, James. We have friends and foes like anyone else in this planet.

I hope you will understand us the best way possible, James. Please do let me know if you need any further clarifications regarding this.

Best Regards,
Peter
Technical Support Specialist
Spam Arrest"

In the 3 years that I have used SpamArrest, I personally have never received one complaint from anyone that has been 'spammed' from any theoretical 'spam list' that SpamArrest may have created. I think that their statement above makes it clear that they would not do this.

I behooves you to publish a retraction.
