Chloe got up and looked around until she saw the screen. Immediately lost interest.

We do stealthy ones as well, that was just to see how blatantly obvious ones also get clicked on.

Like most companies, all our inbound mail from external companies has a red banner at the top that says basically "Yo, this came from outside, if it looks like it came from inside, it didn't. If it says you are a millionaire, you probably aren't, so don't click the damn links unless you are pretty freaking sure you know where this came from. Now go wash your hands"

I may be paraphrasing....

All the PHISHing tests, which come from external, have that banner on them as a clue.

Watching a video on a couple that basically live on a sailboat and sail the Caribbean full time living off their youtube vlog funds. I'd say these people are nuts and the mail man shows up and bills start rolling in. Currently seeking wife, youtube account and a 40' sailboat. :P

i stopped using pandora a couple years ago because of a feedback loop problem-- regardless of if i 'liked' or 'disliked' a song, after 6 months, it would start playing a rotation of about 30-40 songs. disliking those songs resulted in it attempting to play obscure bar band versions of those same songs. for me, the entire point of music services like pandora is to discover new music that has similar qualities to that which i like. i allow them to track me, i deal with the ad's. i do this so they can build their database, and then feed me new music that i wouldn't normally find myself. and they failed at it.

i've reached that point with youtube. it's reached the point of re-recommending stuff i've already watched.

therefore, i've concluded that i have watched ALL of the videos on youtube.

time to start on vimeo.

I have the same issue with Spotify but Pandora actually works well for me

I usually listen to podcasts anymore.

It is the fictional phone number used in movies and TV.
