There’s a penis in your subject line.
This entry is slightly tongue-in-cheek; I couldn’t resist having a bit of fun with this.
I was surprised today to have this email in my inbox, seeing as I completely thought it was spam, as the subject line was “Are You A Penis Expert?”
This email came from Women’s Health, who I get regular emails from, but for the most part, they are disposable to me. They come into the inbox and are deleted just as easily, no biggie. However, I saw this email and paid attention, because yeah, that subject line wasn’t expected! Neither was the content inside the email, with the slightly-suggestive image and questions about growers and showers.
(BTW, this question is ridiculous anyway, anyone in the position to think about growing or showing will probably find out soon enough, I’m sure.)
Anyway, I am dying to know if someone noticed a decline in the open rate on the Women’s Health Daily Dose email and decided to spice it up a bit. Do I really think my health is dependent on my interaction with penises? No, and I’m sure there are many lesbians who will back me up on that.
Ultimately, however, it did get my attention, whether good or bad. I will probably go back to deleting next week though.
Would a subject line vastly different from the expected get your attention? Make you think “spam” and delete without another thought? Do you think this is just an attention stunt?
No commentsRIP Michael Jackson.
I am 29 years old, I’ve been listening to Michael Jackson’s music my entire life. No matter what drama surrounded him in more recent times, I was always a fan of his music
My favorite song of his is probably “Stranger in Moscow.”
I was hopeful for his comeback with the upcoming dates in London, everyone hopes that people come back from down times, especially public figures that have gone from being so revered to being stomped on.
Rest in peace, MJ.
No commentsPlinky Prompt: How has your life most benefitted from the Internet?
I love the Plinky prompts, sometimes it is just nice to be able to pick up a little topic and write something.
So, how has my life most benefitted from the Internet?
Thanks for the husband, Internet!
- Met my husband online in 2000 – this is the best thing the Internet has done for me and will likely remain so for the rest of my life.
- I work on a variety of websites, my job is completely related to what is happening online, and I have probably been saved from layoffs in the past 2 years because of it.
- I have made some great friends online, some of whom I’ve never met in person, but who I talk to and interact with more than some of my family members!
Facebook name rush is imminent!
Counting down to the Facebook “username” rush. Some great resources I’ve found.
Also liked Gary Vaynerchuk’s video about it.
1 minute to go!
No commentsQuality Retweeting is the New #followfriday.
How did I not think of this before?
We have heard about re-designing #followfriday (See David Armano’s blog post referring back to a tweet from @ThinkReferrals via @HilzFuld), but why not put your money where your mouth is and use retweeting as your recommendation system?
Quality retweeting!
So there it is, think before you retweet, let those tweets be your recommendations for who to follow.
How do you choose what to RT?
