I agree with He...Ladies--<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments. I agree with Heidi that the industry will have to do something -- just like direct marketers have had to adjust their codes of conduct to include rules about e-mail. But cave girl makes a good point that finding the boundaries for mobile phones will be hard. Everything we've read says that peoples' cell phones are a very private thing, so I think there's more room for offense than -- say -- their e-mail in box. Plus, unlike e-mail, many people have to pay to receive incoming text messages. That takes mobile spam to a new level: it's not only costing me time, now it's costing me money.<BR/><BR/>AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838847127328042409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838279173172085498.post-71137967847547584972008-07-10T17:19:00.000-07:002008-07-10T17:19:00.000-07:00I've never texted a vote for, say, American Idol. ...I've never texted a vote for, say, American Idol. Has anyone else voted by text? If so, does American Idol send messages back?<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to survey what companies do with mobile marketing and what they consider opt-in. And I also wonder if pretty soon the industry will get some ethical guidelines for mobile marketing.Heidi Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777586110512483952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838279173172085498.post-6406375932490217202008-07-10T06:43:00.000-07:002008-07-10T06:43:00.000-07:00You got to text your son on the stadium board? COO...You got to text your son on the stadium board? COOL!!<BR/><BR/>OK, on to the spam issue. I question whether something as individual as one's "perspective" on their privacy boundaries could ever be agreed upon? <BR/><BR/>Do you think we'll have to start expecting an advertising message every time we choose to participate in a community we don't own? I dunno, but I'm tempted to close off this comment with a cheesy remark: "the only free lunch in Web 2.0 is spam!"
