Yeah, I visit Facebook a couple (maybe more) times a day for 1-2 minutes to check if I have any notifications and quickly scroll through the feed to see if there's anything interesting, there usually isn't.
When I'm out, I just rely on my phone vibrating when I've got a notification.
I don't see how people can spend hours everyday on it.
Genius. Good for personal blogs but won't be appropriate for some other kinds of blogs e.g. news blog.
If I didn't sign-up for it then I'm marking it as spam thank you very much.
Yep, I honestly think it's the best way to deal with it, offer me a one-click unsubscribe or get your emails marked as spam.
I really do hate it when you have to 'manage your preferences' when you want to stop receiving email more-often-than-not that you don't remember signing up for.
What's more is, if you can somehow manage to remember your account details and navigate the labyrinth of menus to get to where you want to be, you then have to unsubscribe and believe it or not, some websites have even told me it could take up to a week for the changes to take affect.
Ridiculous is the word the springs to mind.
Most recently though, I have started to mark emails which don't offer me a one-click-unsubscribe as spam, that'll teach them.
