Portraits of Spammers
It’s been a long week, so enjoy some art (and spam). Next week we’ll get back to discussing the many faults of Gmail. And senders. And receivers. And, well, everyone has faults. And email is Dead. Tabs killed it.

As much as I hate spam I have to admit it – there are plenty of things we can learn from spammers when it comes to persuasion.
They use a lot of tactics to persuade people to open their emails, read them, click the links in the email body and eventually buy.
What do you think will happen if we use their persuasion tactics for something legit?
Most of the things spammers do to get people to open, read and click their emails are fraud. Some of them have even gone to jail for it.
