President of eMarketing Association, Robert Fleming, discusses e-marketing certification and the current state of spam

By Mike Adams, June 2 2006
Mike: I'm here with Robert Fleming, president and CEO of the eMarketing Association. I want to start with an overview of the eMarketing Association for people who may not be familiar with it and a bit of a discussion on who might be interested in taking these courses. Robert Fleming: The eMA was founded in 1998. Basically, our mission is to educate and bring together people in the e-marketing, internet marketing arena and provide resources and opportunities for those people to network and develop...

Put an end to spam and phishing by reforming email

By Mike Adams, May 15 2006
It is way past time for the internet community to do something serious about spam and phishing attacks. The problem has gone way beyond spam now. Spam itself was quite annoying. We've all waded through hundreds, if not thousands, of emails in our inboxes, trying to find the legitimate emails that we wanted. Even all the anti-spam software, spam filters and schemes for authenticating inbound email and making senders click links to verify real people didn't really stop spam, because the spammers got...

DVD copy warnings, movie studio paranoia, and the effort to turn customers into criminals

By Mike Adams, April 13 2006
Pop quiz: What's the first thing you see when you watch a DVD? The answer, of course, is a threat to imprison you or fine you up to $250,000 if you dare copy that movie or display it for non-home use. Movie studios and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) are downright paranoid about the pirating of their movies. Some of that paranoia may be justified, but at the same time, it sure is annoying to a customer who buys a lot of movies to see this warning emblazoned on the screen at the beginning...

Interview with Jeanne Jennings, Online Marketing Consultant

By Mike Adams, March 6 2006
Mike: I'm here with Jeanne Jennings. Could you introduce yourself and talk about your background? I know you have an MBA and a lot of experience in email marketing, but how did get started with The Jennings Report? Jennings: I actually got into the online world back in the 1980s. When I graduated with my MBA, I was fascinated with online. I felt like there was so much information in the world, and online seemed to me to be the best way to organize and present it. I love using things like Dialog...

Interview with John Levine on the War on SPAM

By Mike Adams, February 19 2006
Mike: To start with, can you give people an overview of where you think the war on spam is today? [This interview was conducted in early 2005.] Levine: I'd say the war on spam is about where World War I was in 1916 -- you know, it's gotten to the point where it's way worse than either side though it was going to be, and although I think we're starting to see some progress on the anti-spam side, we still have an awful lot more work to do. Mike: Do you think that a solution, then, is many years...

Emerging technology is not the answer to the world's social and economic problems

By Mike Adams, February 15 2006
I've been reading news reports about how technology is advancing so rapidly that by the year 2050, we're supposed to be able to download our entire consciousness into our laptop computers. That right, just plug in your brain, and apparently you can download your memories and all the data in your head. Now, what's wrong with this? First of all, the brain does not store information in bits and bytes. The brain is not a digital storage system. The brain, and more importantly, the mind, is holographic...

Science news update: Clones, Mars, quantum computing, weapons technology and more (satire)

By Mike Adams, January 12 2006
Here's the latest science news that's worth noting: My clone did it Our faith in science is now restored! It turns out that Korean stem cell researcher Hwang Woo-suk actually didn't fake his research. His clone did. "The fact that my clone faked this research on stem cells," explained Mr. Hwang, "is proof that my cloning process works." Mr. Hwang is now making arrangements to have his clone fired so that he can get back to the job of fooling prestigious scientific journals (which are busy printing...

As cold fusion events demonstrate, modern science is ruled by conformity, not the search for scientific truth

By Mike Adams, August 7 2005
I've often wondered why it is that conventionally trained medical doctors are so reluctant to venture outside the limited thinking of conventional medicine. Why are they hesitant to adopt new ideas and new theoretical models for the underlying causes of human health or disease? I think I have at least a partial answer to this question: Doctors only succeed in medical school or in acquiring publication of their studies when they conform with the views and beliefs of their peers. In other words, becoming...

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs

By Mike Adams, May 28 2005
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone...

Email privacy now a top concern for 19 out of 20 internet users

By Mike Adams, May 24 2005
How important is email privacy to your business? A new email privacy survey conducted by Relemail reveals it may be far more important than you expected. The survey presents some startling statistics about how email subscribers view privacy. Let's take a closer look at these statistics and reveal what it means for you and your organization. The first statistic revealed by the study is that 96 percent of email subscribers view email privacy as important to them. This is a huge number. It essentially...

Gene therapy and genetic engineering: the future of medicine?

By Mike Adams, May 19 2005
Is gene therapy the next wave in medicine? As the age of chemical-based medicine is now thoroughly discredited (prescription drugs are toxic, haven't you heard?), and drug companies are losing both profits and credibility, there's a mad dash to find something to replace the current drug racket. Could gene therapy be the next "big thing" for Big Pharma? Interestingly, gene therapy has very real potential for enhancing human health, but not in the way the drug companies think. Unfortunately, gene...

Email marketing service provider Listrak spams president of permission-based email software company with unsolicited commercial email

By Mike Adams, March 24 2005
I had to share this one with you, folks. If you laugh as hard as I did, this will make your day. As many readers of this site know, in addition to writing these feature articles, I'm also the president of one of the top permission email software companies in the industry, ArialSoftware.com. Since 1993, I've fought against spam, I've worked to create email sender certification solutions (like www.Relemail.com) and I've even created webmaster tools to help small businesses and non-profits build their...

New international anti-spam council pledges to fight spam around the world

By Mike Adams, July 30 2004
A new international anti-spam group has been formed and announced. It is called the International Council on Internet Communications, and the purpose of this council is to coordinate international efforts to stop spammers. This sort of international group is necessary because spammers operate internationally. They can use mail relays from countries like China or Russia, or hijack so-called zombie PCs from any country in the world in order to send their spam messages. For example, spammers' headquarters...

Digital cameras are good for the environment

By Mike Adams, February 1 2005
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how...

The Top Ten Technologies: #10 Superlearning Systems

By Mike Adams, July 14 2004
One of the great failures of modern society is public education. In the United States, the public education system has been denied adequate funding for so long that teachers frequently resort to buying textbooks for their students with their own money. Many schools lack even fundamental instructional tools like desktop computers, and much about public education remains mired in bureaucracy and political power grabs. The advancement of modern civilization will require a quantum leap in the approach...

The Top Ten Technologies: #7: Genetic Engineering of Humans

By Mike Adams, July 14 2004
One of the greatest problems facing our civilization goes largely unnoticed. The problem is that we, as human beings, are haphazard creations designed to thrive and reproduce in an environment that shares little in common with the global uplifting of civilization. From a physical standpoint, we are merely little more than great apes (we share some 98% of their genetic code). We are born with physical structures that were designed to help us survive harsh, prehistoric environments, and they did their...

Product review: Vongo movie downloading service

By Ben Kage, April 19 2006
Peer to peer networks have stirred up quite a hornet's nest on the internet, as people share copyrighted files of every nature without paying a dime. Although I'm not about to publicly cast a vote for or against such a practice, movie buffs now have a legal alternative called Vongo. Although the name is somewhat unconventional, which has garnered it some small criticisms, it is probably the best way to get noticed on the internet these days, and the idea itself is sound: Download the free Vongo...

'Do not email' registries for parents begin in July in two states

By Steve Diaz, June 29 2005
New state laws in Michigan and Utah will prohibit sending commercial email to children's email addresses which are registered with the states' new 'Do not email' lists. Officials in both states have confirmed that their new registry web pages for parents — websites where parents and guardians can soon make their kids' email addresses off limits to email marketers — will be activated this month. Michigan's registry is scheduled to be available July 1 at http://www.michigan.gov, and Utah's website...

Q&A: What is email authentication and how is it currently affecting my email delivery?

By Arial Software, June 1 2007
Answer: Many legitimate email marketers and Internet ecommerce professionals are encouraging the implementation of email authentication standards to combat unsolicited bulk email (read: spam and phishing emails) that impinge on legitimate bulk email campaigns. Email authentication verifies the identity of the source computer sending the email, matching the sender of the message to the domain that the email message is purportedly coming from. Currently, there are two common types of authentication...
