MyHeritage.com Hates Spam

By Kit | April 12, 2007

So blah bitty blah blah, I wanted to see what celebrities I look like and MyHeritage has a nifty little tool for this. In a move about which I am none to pleased, the require you to register in order to see your look alikes. As I mentioned previously, I have an email address explicitly for this purpose. Unfortunately, MyHeritage outsmarted me and ruled my email address to be unacceptable apparently because it contains the word “spam”. Since email addresses are about as easy to obtain as getting a monkey to fling waste, their security policy simply encouraged me to employ an email address that lives in the Internet ether. Again, it is ironic that I receive no spam at my spam address and I know numerous people who throw the word “spam” into their most valuable address just to tap into this mojo.

Adding insult to injury, they rejected my first two usernames: “Guadalupe Hidalgo” and “Grundle”. Sigh.

    This is the weblog of Kit Kemper. It is generally about marketing. Marketing in the sense that pretty much everything you do as a company and more often as a person these days devolves into marketing of some sort or another. It is also about tech in much the same way as it is about marketing, technology touches more of our lives every day and where people, marketing, and technology converge there are some pretty interesting things happening.
