A surprise win for Twitter!

So, a quick update to the washing machine story... @gebu, who looks to be part of the french marketing arm of Hotpoint/Indesit, posted the instructions and manual on how to reset the machine within 3 hours, via Twitter! Brilliant!

The UK email service got back to me the following day... with the wrong information.

Lucky me, I've been chosen!

You were recently chosen as a potential candidate to represent your professional community in the 2010/2011 Edition of The Global Directory of Who's Who Online.

We are please to inform you that your candidacy was formally approved March 30th, 2010. Congratulations. 

So, how many of us have had one of these email? I receive at least one a day now, I must be the most popular/recognised person in the UK! The part that was a little upsetting was the fact that I was selected on the 30th March and this was only sent to me on the 4th May 2010! Over a month of missed opportunity!

It's such a shame to think that this kind of mass mailing junk can and probably does generate money for the people sending them.

Sadly the future of junk mail continues!
