Ola Has Defimedia Adopted The Spam Method

December 15, 2008 / 91 Comments

Ola! Here is one post that will prick some soul lol. I was just checking one of my gmails and happened to see an email from Defimedia Group.

the-spam-title defimedia

I used this gmail of mine to register on their site some time ago when Defimedia was still accepting creole blog posts on their late blog. I signed up but never really send them any article. So I completely forgot about that and never really got emails from them. So today when I saw an email from Defimedia Group, I really wanted to see what crap they have sent and to my astonishment…. Defimedia is doing SPAM advertising! And thats CHEAP spam advertising for a company like them! Have a look below.

defimedia-spamming

Hellbound! At first view its clear that the wonderful webmaster there has mass emailed all the email addresses in his contact list at defimedia.info! That’s a very ugly point for such a company. I agree that we bloggers, we sometime email all our contacts (our friends and people we know!) and send them our link when we have just posted a hot article. We also use facebook and other social network to promote our posts in groups and pages and so on. However I really do not expect that a company like Defimedia Group who is supposed to be a professional group of journalists use such techniques to promote their news!

The guy who sent this do no even know me and surely I am not his friend.. and I got this email! Innovation if not spam! Now forget about the spam stuff…and lets just have a look at the content I received in the email! Click on the above photo to view it. If you cannot view it..then below is the extract of what is written in the email.

C'est au cours d'une conférence de presse avec le Premier ministre irakien Nouri al-Maliki, à Bagdad, qu'un journaliste irakien lui lançait à la figure deux chaussures. Le président américain l'a évité de justesse et le journaliste de nom Mountazar Alzaydi a
été maîtrisé par le service de sécurité qui l'a conduit à une destination inconnue…

La vidéo est sur notre site !

BE PROFESSIONAL DEFIMEDIA!!!


So amateur?? Not even some good formatting! By the way… I already got that news much before they even announce it on their radio! I was having a look a google new this morning and saw that.

Infact an iraqi journalist attacked George Bush with his shoes during a press conference with the Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki. The President of the US George Bush avoided the two shoes. In Arab cultures being attacked with shoes is a sign of profound disrespect, as is being called a dog.

Well so great news! And so? Is it a reason to mass email us this news? Even if defimedia has mass email this news… they could have done it in a well designed and professional email format and I would not have clicked SPAM IT lol.

One thing which make me wonder is that…is it that defimedia.info is not receiving too much traffics and that the webmaster there is SO desperate that he is even spamming for visits now? A very unprofessional act from a supposed to be professional press in anyway!!

Update:

And guess what the webmaster of the website replied…. That damn funny to see a professional (supposed to be) webmaster making fun of himself. Here is a copy of his reply copied from the comments below.

Anyway, tant ki zot la pou fer nou vin plus populaire kumsa enkor, mo pa mind contine avoy twa ban email SAK FOIS ki ena n lot news kumsa. Pa bizin dir merci.. Mo genereux em mwa.  Merci ton fer mwa kone ban apostrophe la p retourne zot html entity btw. Mo va regler bug la zordi em. Ek lerla mo va re spam twa.

English translation of the above:

Anyway, while you will be doing these post to promote us like this, I dont mind to keep spamming you these emails each time we got some hot news. No need to thank me…I am very generous.  Thanks for pointing out that the email I send are showing the html entity btw. I shall work on that today and then keep spamming you!


Professional amateurism! Update closed!

      @Lovvy: Forget that son of an asshole and of a bitch buddy. He really got nothing else to do lol except lamenting on Mauritian blogs. Fiel mem li pena pu fer so prop blog…li servi website companie li p declare ;-) Cmsa unta comment mo gagne from him… but you know what the best solution?

      Its to make his existence on the blogs goes in vain by not making him existent. Well these one that I have published above is because in another way he is making a fool of himself on the web…so let him build his reputation… i mean reputed as an asshole lol.

      Lovvy we are the “caravan” and he is “le chien” which is barking… so the caravan moves on while “HE” the puppy keeps barking. :P Btw…. mo pense ki li pena assez work there at le Dife media… kapav si al MBC li pu ena plis work lol.

      @Lovvy: Lol.. eh buddy that comment from rebeka above it was targeting the defimedia webmaster and not me lol. The daddy’s son stuff said there was for Akash :-) Thanks for taking my side though ;-) By the way the story of the idiocracy of an idiot ( you know who i am refering too) is already first listed on digg lol even when people search defimedia webmaster on google…. and I keep laughing when once he told me how idiot I was suppose to be to be talking about defimedia here lol.

      @Rebecca: Well all that you said i guess must be true lol as evn I know who that idiot is lol. Thank you for commenting.

    this is really amusing akash… u’re still trying hard to prove that u’re not totally useless and that ure so good at ur job, aren’t u? not as though daddy’s name helped big time in u getting that job? else you would have ended as what? a nincompoop spending his days wanking and drinking and lying, cuz thats really all you know to do? anyway mate, you lost, the article was trying to show how unprofessional you are and guess what, you were able to prove the guy right lolz it’s funny how ure easily manipulated..and yeah, about ur comments always ending with the expression “if you’re a real man you’ll post it” oh god can there be anything funnier than that, especially coming from you. I mean, it’s time to evolve mate, we’re no more in prehistoric times, what does being a man even have to do with the topic at hand. Anyway, you could always recycle urself as a pathetic comedian i guess. Apart from that, if i were ur employer, u would so be sacked young boy… do u realise u’re talking on behalf of the company here…it’s their name at stake… and u ain’t doing anything good for that… see that’s what happens when u’re not really cut for the job, but ure just pushed in because of daddy :) now, while reading this, ure surely gonna reply with a dozen swear words, since its the only thing u know… but if you’ve got just that tiny bit of grey cells left man, i’d tell you to stop posting anything here, cuz ure making a real circus show out of urself. Advice from an old mate :) x x x
