Zurich underbelly

I decided to participate in the 20min community. Seems like they have a lot of users, are very popular in zurich (no wonder, being a free newspaper) and their web section is run by teens who are a) cheap b) innovative. A smart move on their part. They have all kinds of services, like an “i’m i hot or not?” clone, a dating service and more. Unfortunately their community is only visible with a login, or i would link to some of the most hilarious entries. It seems like some fun can be had, we shall see.

Spam

i went through nearly 200 (physical) mails today. things i hate:

  • unasked-for customer magazines
  • redundant account statements (hello web??)
  • bills-cum-advertising
  • “special” offers from lousy companies
  • “moving” pleas from dumb charities
  • “management” magazines

maybe 10 of the 200 were relevant. if i get my banks to stop sending me statements which are online anyway they wont have an opportunity to spam me with their “special offers”. funny how marginal businesses that should focus on transactional efficiency want to create “added value” through stupid customer magazines. i don’t want to hear from my bank. they are eating my margins with their posturing. time for some shakeout.
