At the recent Organization of Spam Exporting Countries (OSEC) conference in Latvia, I was fortunate to share some upcoming new ideas with delegates from this rich group of mass opinion makers. Indeed, I was humbled to have come across such personal college heroes as N. Larjmapinuss of Pillzahoy Inc and Skamdya Ltd's Chairman, the Honorable Minister of Inherited Fortunes, Republic of Nigeria.
As one of the keynote speakers, I was excited to present Google's widely hailed new initiative for the dot-spam (.spam) top level domain deployment. As Rosy Glass, the head of UTau-Pian Team at Google Iceland emphasized, we believe .spam has the potential of becoming Web 3.0 in less than a decade. She cited examples of success stories like .info and had the entire audience nodding in agreement. Dot-spam project's laser-sharp focus and Gmail enabled support will help email-entrepreneurs connect better with their targets (markets.)
Rosy's presentation followed an orientation workshop conducted by Chuck Mormony, Product Manager at AdSense for Spam. We were very surprised and encouraged to learn the enthusiasm of email-marketing specialists, especially from Russia, India and New Zealand towards monetizing their businesses using AdSense for Spam.
On the fun side, the Latvian Department of Commerce took us scuba diving around a private island owned by the reclusive genius Scott Free, the Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Spybot Virul Technologies.
