It’s good to remind internet users and social media users what spam is. It is so annoying. Thanks for this reminder.

Darn.. my url had a comma in it and does not work. Just corrected this one. Another thing I don’t care for too much is groups. You get an endless list of emails if you you want to participate. I know I can fix that and do but join very few groups on FB. Then there is messaging, when people list you with everyone on their friends list. You get all of those emails.. gads!

Sheesh, I noticed I put a comma in my website url so of course it does not work.. fixed this one though. A bit self serving.. lol, but this is different than tagging or whatever…. Smile

Oh, I hate that! Someone posted to my FB fan page, “complimenting” my work but along with that, they posted a link to their art page on FB that had pictures.

Ahh tagging! Makes me mad when someone tags me on “their” art, and it winds up on my FB Wall. It’s rude. I almost always remove my name.

I’d like to think that quality content, hard work, and politeness is what gets you attention. Spam in all its forms is lazy and annoying! Thank you for posting this– I hope that those who didn’t consider themselves spammers before might think twice before engaging in the questionable activities you listed above. Cheers!

LinkedIn recently asked me if I wanted to send invitations using my mailing list (to join my professional network on LinkedIn)…I clicked ‘yes’, why not? They seem to do this quite nicely, almost Canadian in their politeness…I am thrilled to have got some new responses & connections from people who are important to me…However, I should caution that LinkedIn sends two subsequent reminder invitations after the first, if the first is ignored…I did get one ‘please stop’ email today, & apologized for the repeats, but all in all it was a good way to reach out without being spammy…

Oh how I agree! I immediately unfollow those who auto-DM me, and I often delete comments on my blog and FB pages that come off as too self-promotiony and spammy.
Thanks for posting this. I hope it leads to a little less spam flowing around the internet art world.
