Get paid to receive Spam
Boxbe, an email service that charges marketers to email its users, launched this week. The idea is you use your Boxbe address (mine is lizg@boxbe.com) to sign up for throwaway services and lists. If someone uses the address to email you, they are given the option of paying a fee (mine is set at 10 cents, of which I receive 75 percent) or completing a test to prove you’re a human (a captcha). So basically, the fee will only come into play for mass marketing emails.
How nice - isn't it? Who in their right mind wants to get paid for receiving Spam. I don't want any Spam at all. Probably I will never understand how advertising can work, if it's sooo annoying. They more a company annoys me with their advertising the less likely I am to buy their product. Am I the last person who searches the market actively when I want to buy something?
