Resist opportunity. How's that for some counter-intuitive advice? In the wake of too many opportunities, too much data, and so many social networks, tools and conversations, how can marketers effectively set priorities, identify the most meaningful audiences and develop the necessary content needed to participate? This idea was posed by keynote speaker and Cluetrain Manifesto co-author David Weinberger. I believe the answer has to be in accepting that none of us can successfully test everything, so we must resist the urge to try everything, and at a micro-level embrace the fact that we will never be able to track, follow or participate in every customer or industry conversation. ...

When it comes to privacy and behavioral tracking, the FTC has largely given the direct marketing and email marketing industries a mandate to "self regulate, or else." We've done a pretty good job of that as an industry, but this year we may see some additional attention paid to our success. You simply must be aware of these issues, and so I'm happy to invite you to join me at a DMA/Email Experience Council webinar with the FTC later this month. Attend to get the full scoop (see details and a discount code below). ...

Human communication takes many forms, from the dense poetry of Shakespeare's plays to the rigorous precision of IETF documents to the false apologies conveyed by emoticons. Metaphors seem like the greatest thing since sliced bread, while verbal puns can creep up on the unwary like a faux queue in arrears. But at the end of the day, when all is said and done, like a bull in a china shop, inaccurate cliches and colloquialisms can actually impede communication -- particularly technical communication.
Some of the terms I see floating around the industry are silly and annoying, but ...

I'm very pleased to announce today that Return Path has hired Christine Borgia, formerly of AOL and Todd Herr, formerly of Time Warner Cable/Road Runner.
Many companies in the email industry lay claims to working with top ISPs and mailbox providers. Return Path, however, is one of the few that works for them as well. When we began work on the Return Path Reputation Data Network we imagined that gathering data from all the top ISPs and other large-volume email receivers would be a boon for our marketer clients. We could show them - in real time - what their sending reputation looked like. We created the Sender Score as a way to quantify that reputation and give them a metric to shoot for.
We quickly realized that this data was also extremely useful for ...

The DMA (UK) recently released a Deliverability White Paper that is full of relevant and useful information for any marketer who has experienced problems reaching the inbox.

With more than 130 million spam messages being broadcast every day, ISPs are struggling to protect their customers' inboxes and differentiate between ...Tell me more
