Excuse me? ShrinkTheWeb is only a leader because of tactics designed to get placement on the web.
Email advertising campaigns which might follow some technical rule that makes them legal by being "opt-out" are still spam in my opinion. This is the true business of ConstantContact, (your new email provider). You only need to look at how much time each person on the planet spends sorting through all this bullshit email to understand. To be fair, your service is NOT doing this yet but we can expect it in the future because of who you are in bed with. Just because they are big and are approved by Microsoft does not make them any better than the guy running spam campaigns from his basement cellar under the cover of internet darkness!
Email address farming campaigns are done by EVERY email solicitor, legal or otherwise and I for one, do NOT support the process or the companies that bed them in any manner whatsoever. Even though you may not think they are, ConstantContact has to get their email addresses from somewhere.
The review is honest and to the point. The ONLY reason an email company like ConstantContact does not allow 'admin@' is NOT because of possible increased spam but because the address had a very LOW return rate on non consent emails sent to it. This information is by THEIR OWN ADMISSION as the result of a phone call I made directly to the company after dealing with you the other day. I pretended to be an email customer using their services and got this information first hand. They weren't shy about telling me at all and OFFERED it to me. I was, to say the least, a little shocked it was so easy to get.
There is another reason you are a leader. It's because people have not taken the time (yet) to figure out this particular service is best performed locally from within their own website or server setup. It's really not that hard to go to a site and cap an image of it. Others on the internet have also decided this and decided it's NOT a path that will present any real returns over time and as a result, you aren't faced with any real competition for it.You are dying a slow death. You just don't know it yet.
I am sure most of the people here have also dealt with your incessant emails telling them this is broke or that isn't working or that they MUST change their email addresses so you can meet the needs of your spamming counterpart. They probably also have their own ideas as well about your claimed NO #1" status. I am also sure they have also dealt with the 5 minute return on a thumb request trying to get their site mods working in the past and the many who have just given up on it ever really functioning well enough to be in a production environment. If you would like, I can also post your email to me where you are blaming Dolphin and Boonex for the failure of your site to produce reliable and quick thumb images for their product in a reasonable amount of time.
BTW, I am just a greasy tow truck driver who steals cars for a living. Many judge me by that fact and I am used to it. In fact, I revel in it because they think me stupid or of little intelligence and it gives me the power to set you up here for a major fall by trying to come up against me one on one.
How dare you come in here amongst my friends and threaten me. It is you that have made yourself look bad....
