Subject: Re: MI Online Survey with prizes worth over US$ 100,000
If you don't want to waste your time, don't respond to spam. Just
because it mentioned "GIS" doesn't mean it wasn't just a
bald-faced advertisement.
In addition, it's NOT the first GIS magazine for Asia. GEO World
Asia/Pacific has been covering this region for years (see
http://www.geoplace.com if you're interested.)
I still think the best way to draw business online is to FIRST
establish yourself as a contributing member of the community, not
to introduce yourself by treating the community as a resource to
be exploited. The only time we hear from these folks is through
bulk mailings to all the GIS lists they could find...all at once
(another unwise thing to do.)
Considering that Asia will be where the action is online in the
21st century, there's an incredible opportunity to build a
community foundation here. Spamming isn't the way to do it.
