After loosing many time deleting them by hand I’ve seen the light. It seems not , but all those seconds loosed deleting trash emails sum hours at the end of the month.

The trick is to create a filter and simply send all the emails that contain in the body “For immediate release” directly to trash. ( See screenshot below )

For immediate deletion

I don’t have any friends telling me that things are for immediate release anyways ;)

Another good thing I read regarding email habits, is to check email just twice a day, they say it increases productivity. I’m going to implement it soon but I need at least four check.

At oysms.com you can send SMS’s that arrive with your mobile number. That said, this messages arrive with your real number, so your name should appear in the receiver’s phone (If he has you in it’s adress list, of course)

Till now the idea has been alright with most of the users and they seem to be happy with the system. Now there is a little problem and it’s the ambition to send more SMS’s than the system allows you. (1 by day / If you ‘ve less than 7 credits)

This latest days, I’ve been moderating the activity, and checking the user accounts. Apart of discovering many invented names as “LionHeart” or “Nacho Vidal”, a famous spanish porn actor, I’ve found users opening many accounts with different numbers. (Now all disabled)

The result is that 20 % of the accounts are deactivated. There is something that I think it’s really bad if we let this duplicated accounts to be used without any control:

  • As the sending number is the real one, this can be used to do identity theft, something that we don’t allow at all.
  • Less problematic, but disgusting, is the invented names issue. If we send a personalized newsletter I want it to arrive to a real person, with real name, not to “LionHeart”, even if you are a Lionheart’s lover.
