United Emails = Broken

Jakob Nielsen recently penned "Incompetent Email Marketing = Lost Future Opportunities (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)" (thanks Matt) which talks about United's inept marketing emails. I have much more damning evidence that United's email marketing is busted: you sign up with them, you'll get spammed.

How do I know this? I create a new email address for every service that I sign up for ... that way, if I get some spam, I know where the leak happened. Sure enough, I have gotten rolex spam sent to united [at] luntfamily.com. The only place I gave that email address was as part of my united.com Mileage Plus account. Thanks, United!

A new email for every service you sign-up for....now that's a lot of tracking you do in there.

Good idea maybe I should monitor it too.
