abecedarian 330 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Can't say I've noticed anything out of the ordinary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have. Lots more spam from unexpected sources. I also haven't heard if anyone was the lucky winner of a prize either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobnova 59 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 No spam seen here. Maybe yahoo is filtering it or something. Or gmail, or whatever I used for that. I think the drawing was going to be on the 9th or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So - poor audio quality, uninspired delivery, spamming and no sign of anyone getting any dev kits. (I only found time to view it after the 9th so wasn't expecting one anyway.) Fairly unimpressive all round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodi 16 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm still wondering if we should ask someone from TI what the situation is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 @@kodi That might be a good idea. I reflects badly on TI even though I'm sure the problem is not theirs. Does anyone know a good person to contact? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 630 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 UBM is pretty notorious for spamming the hell out of their email lists. Sign up to anything hosted by one of their publications and end up on dozens of newsletters. It took me months to unsubscribe the last time I signed up for one of their webinars. Actually, UBM is probably the main reason why I don't sign up for any free webinars anymore. I don't get why TI (and others like Digi-Key) partner with these kind of organizations. IMO it's counterproductive to the long-term relationship with their audience and customers. Edit to add:I know why marketing departments do it. They are measured short-term on the number of leads (i.e. contact addresses) they generate. That's also why you have raffles at trade-shows. It helps creating an impressively long Excel sheet with "leads" to justify cost of the event. But in the end it just creates a bigger haystack. tripwire 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still unsubscribing from the UBM emails for a few webinars I took last year. Now I just register a junk mail id, in case a good webinar comes along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 By the way, I brought these problems to the attention of TI over on their e2e community here. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
