3-Level E-mailing: Become Spam Free

[prabato]

Did anyone try or heard of this service called Walla.com?

I pretty much don't like companies who imitate others and try to compete in such a way. It seems offensive to me. I mean, if other companies want to compete, why not add another feature or advantage instead of just imitating others?

As soon as Gmail went popular, I heard of this Walla.com It was 1 Gigabyte when Gmail already exceeded that, but now it's 3 Gigabytes.

But I didn't let the Walla.com down you know. I registered an e-mail address there to fill it with all the spam in the world.

So now I have three-level e-mails:

Gmail Account: For all very intimate friends who don't send FWD messages.

Yahoo Account: For good forums, and FWD kind of friends [because many e-mail addresses are logged by spammers from this somehow naive habit].

Walla Account: For all the spam in the world, including all free-services on the Internet which require e-mail activation.

So what do you think about this idea? I have the Gmail notifier installed (very low memory usage), and the Yahoo Messenger is the IM program of my choice, so it acts as a notifier for Yahoo e-mails, and I never open the Walla account unless I need to register a new service. It works for me, and I am always spam free Big Time!

I saw it..It sure has a cheesy signup page. If they can't make the sign up page look decent ...what they going to do about service??

I have walla and I haven’t checked it in months, just checked it now and I still have no emails in it!

I use a similar idea to yours by the way.

If it's not a secret tell me what's the similar idea. perhaps, it's better.

Nope not a secret but it's probably not better!

Hotmail: I use for friends, forums and newsletters.
Gmail: Very good friends, business and online shopping.
Terra: Is my email from my old ISP, I'm moving important services away from it and it may become my test email and a spam box.

It feels the same.

By the way, have anyone noticed that there are so many members who read english but not write? Why is the number of views far exceeds the number of replies?

Becuase people check up on the post many times and each time they check it for new replys which will count as a view also dont forget search bots.

Right you are, yet isn't the forum considered semi-dead?

I just use my gmail account as it has pretty good filtering.

I registered a spam-account with Walla. It isn't much of a service (I have learned to read the 'Privacy Policy' for anything that I use online) as it is a cash-machine for developers who hope to get rich with advertising tie-ins. The features and layout aren't even on the same page as Gmail.

The Gmail spam filtering does work incredibly well, sometimes too well. I use an old yahoo account to field most of my sign-ups and questionable 'free' services--the Bulk folder currently has 150+ unread messages.
