Spam Begone: A Marketer’s Dream (and Nightmare)

I know I don’t know you, but I share a pet peeve with you. Really, I do. I hate spam. So much of it fills my inbox, that I sometimes have to scream. They’ve gotten clever enough that they now set up hundreds of shell organizations so that if you unsubscribe from one sub-org, they’ll spam you from another. The more you unsub, the more they spam, because they know you’re reading the damn email.

Well, no more. I have seen our saviour, and its name is Qurb. Qurb is simply the most elegant, intuitive and error-free spam-dominating kick-ass piece of software I have ever seen, or used in my life.

It works on a “white-list” basis—essentially, only allows mail from known parties; but it makes the process of adding to the white-list so easy, that its almost transparent.

Can you tell I like this thing?
