People Still Buying From Spam

People Still Buying From Spam 06/29/2004 02:15 PM
There have been similar studies in the past, but the numbers on this one are fairly disturbing. Despite the continued annoyance most people claim concerning spam, a new study suggests that 20% of Americans admit to buying products from spam. No wonder the damn stuff keeps increasing. There are plenty of suckers out there.

Tech Jargon Confusing People Into Buying

Tech Jargon Confusing People Into Buying 04/14/2004 02:26 PM
Recently we wrote about a study saying that too much tech jargon was scaring off buyers and suggested that companies focuse more on benefits than jargon to attract customers. Well, as some pointed out at the time, tech jargon can be a two way street - often confusing the matter enough that clueless customers feel compelled to buy. In fact, a new study shows that more than one in four people surveyed admitted to buying the wrong product due to confusing jargon - and you have to wonder how many others in that situation wouldn't even admit to it (or, even better, still haven't realized they bought the wrong product). The question, then, is whether or not salespeople are purposely confusing the issue to try to trick people into buying, or if they just don't realizing how confusing the jargon is. I'm guessing it's a combination of both - with some cases being a situation where the sales person is covering up their own ignorance by throwing in jargon words to sound knowledgeable. What it all boils down to, however, is that (a) tech jargon isn't going away and (b) buyers need to be skeptical of what they're being told and should do their best to learn the basics of what they're being sold from third parties before buying.

[etech] People-to-People (Microsoft) 02/11/2004 09:36 PM
Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

All That Microsoft Buying Google Stuff

All That Microsoft Buying Google Stuff 10/31/2003 06:18 PM
Ah, there goes the press again. It was pretty common knowledge that Microsoft approached Google about the potential of a buyout much earlier this year, and Google said no thanks. However, now that a single reporter from the NY Times found out about it, the press is going nuts with Microsoft wants to buy Google stories. From everything that appears to be going on (and, clearly, I have no idea about the specifics of the discussions), Microsoft has been talking with Google about a whole variety of things for many many months. Every once in a while they bring up the possibility of an acquisition, and every time Google says no. It's all part of the expected dance. I would have been more surprised if the conversations hadn't happened than I am that they did.

Could it be? Could the Redmond company now make other companies pay for the ubiquitous practice of tapping a computer mouse twice to open a program on a computer screen?
