Yup.

I'd really hate to be in the bulk email business today. Perhaps google will sell them back the data they used to create themselves.



The future of marketing is forming cohesive communities with your customers, anyways, not spamming the shit out of them.


What does a "cohesive community" look like and is anyone doing this today?


Indie/small/medium-sized videogame studios with forums.

Alternatively, if you're not the sort of company that naturally engenders an active community, Twitter. It's not perfect, but it's a far better experience for customers who may want to keep up with what you're doing but don't want a new email to delete every week.


No idea, and I don't think so. Just spitballing.
