The Joy of Forgetting a Website
Posted By Michael On 25th October 2005 @ 19:48 In technology &c. | 6 Comments
I’m impressed with BirthdayAlarm.com, because I haven’t thought about it in months.
What’s that? Yes, I haven’t thought about it in months, and for that reason, I’m very grateful and impressed. I signed up with BirthdayAlarm for some birthday reminders at the behest of a friend, and haven’t heard a peep out of them or any of their “peers” since. How often does that happen? I don’t care what the privacy policy looks like at most sites—if you give them a name@domain.tld they’re going to spam it and send it to all their V14gr4-pushing business associates.
How about you? Any companies you’d forgotten about since you signed up with them until they sent you something that was actually directly related to the purpose with which you signed up? Post your results here!
