Go Green Spam

I’m frankly tired of getting ‘Go Green’ spam from brands & the agencies who develop these ‘Go Green’ campaigns. I do understand my responsibilities towards mother earth and I do everything in my control to maintain the ecological balance. I don’t need preaching from people who don’t practice it themselves. Also I have not given them permission to talk to me regarding Green.
It irritates me even further when I see ‘Go Green’ messages from brands who fail to deliver basics – making good products/services and paying attention when I’m faced with a problem. Instead they seem to be wasting their time and money on ‘Go Green Spam’.
Status donation for Obama
0Tuesday, 4th November, 2008
Today I was bombarded with at least 500 plus status updates where my friends were donating their status to Obama – it was driven by ‘Causes’. To me it looked like the old-school advertising approach of frequency overkill. I guess a time has come for Frequency Capping or Spam Filter kind of features on facebook so that you need not get 500 status updates with exactly the same message.
