"Research shows if you get an e-mail from someone you know, you actually open it." *

* From a Metro article about a new Toronto advertising campaign encouraging every Torontonian to send ~~spam~~ an email to five of their friends and invite them to come visit.

Update: The website for this advertising campaign is here.

Re: bah

I do wish people wouldn't leave posts like that lying around. Particularly when I'm drinking coffee.
