Since everyone’s talking about it, I might as well add some more…
Blogosphere December 10th, 2007
It’s apparently the talk of the town - that Blog2u made a blunder this morning by exposing all our email addresses here! Oh well, I think it’s really an innocent mistake. Moreover… it’s so early in the morning! Heh heh… don’t tell me Paddy is ill-treating his people?
Then again, there’s nothing much I can do now that my email address had been exposed, although it’s quite fun to see what email address others use. Ok, I don’t think it’s funny at all, but like I said, what’s done is done and he apologised.
So what happens next? I could:
- change my email address
- make a lot of noise in my blog
spam everyone else in the list with my time-sharing schemes and get rich quick ideas
Then again, with regards to my last idea… someone might actually be doing that. Well, at least if I start getting spam, I know who to blame. =)
It does seemed that a lot of people are making blunders nowadays:
- Nuffnang and their $1.00 surcharge (reminds me taxi)
- Advertlets and their hidden redirector that made me download malware and I’m spreading it all over the place (and I thought it was youtube!)
- Blog2u exposing all our email address (
it’s spamming time!)
I guess if the PR is good and the mistake/blunder is genuine, I guess I can live and let live. I can’t be expecting a compensation pay-out like that of Mindef’s, can I?
Ed: actually, if there was not so much brouhaha about it, I might not even have noticed =P

Last time Kinokuniya made the same mistake too! They are suppose to BCC all members but ended up putting it under TO, so all emails are seen.
@Shirley: it’s ok. a mistake once in the while is fine. oh, did i just say that?
@Rachel: hehe.. nay, we are all very nice people
@Paddy: No worries.. hmm… S&M???
@zeezzen: Ya… i think the Kino one was a bigger blunder =P
