It is amusing that I found out about this post by a user that constantly retweets and has dominated my feed. Great post! I am afraid I’ll have to RT this one as well!

Perhaps there is an opportunity here for the folks at Twitter to add a facility for segregated chats – ie more than pm’s but like a temporary chat room?

Comment on Why I Don’t Hide That I Work At Home by Laura Thatcher

Laura Thatcher — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:13:40 +0000

Working from home seems to be much more common these days. And not just for the computer types. I’m an attorney and have worked out of my house for 5 years now, both as an employee of a firm and on my own as a solo practitioner. Working from home is great, but the extras (P.O. Box is necessary for safety especially when you have your address on EVERYTHING) and a separate phone line works well too as I find it better to keep business and children separate as much as possible!

Comment on Using Gmail Aliases for Better Organization by Richard Peterson

Richard Peterson — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:46:12 +0000

The problem (until now) with using plus addressing to track spammers is this:

How do you set up a filter to catch ALL plus addressed email? Something like “to:johndoe+*@gmail.com” won’t work. Neither will “to:johndoe+”. A quick Google search will show you that Gmail simply doesn’t support it. So in order to find and filter plus-addressed emails, you have to search for each individual address. “to:johndoe+a | to:johndoe+b | to:johndoe+c ….” Not exactly useful for tracking spammers.

BUT…

Try this. Every time you use a plus address, add a period to your address, like so: “john.doe+nytimes@gmail.com” or “john.doe+shadysite@gmail.com”. If you do this consistently, you can run a search like this: “to:john.doe@gmail.com” … and it will bring up all your plus-addressed email! Now try “to:john.doe@gmail.com in:spam” and you can really start tracking down those spammers. Remember – this won’t find your previous plus-addressed email – the ones without the period. If you already use a period in your address, put it in a different place for plus-addressed email. Like “johndo.e+spammer@gmail.com” Gmail doesn’t care.
