So I sit down this morning and check my Gmail, as per usual, and I find the May newsletter for Mozy (the software that I use to back up my home computer) sitting in my inbox. The subject of the newsletter is “[Mozy] May Newsletter – Mac Launch & Canada Vacation”. The “Mac Launch” part I get, because they’ve just released v1.0 of their app for Mac’s, but what’s with the “Canada Vacation” part? It looks like a blog post that somehow got copied and pasted into the newsletter. See the image below and you’ll probably be wondering the same thing.
How does this help me from a business perspective? I am a Canadian
who lives in the US, and I don’t agree or disagree with this article, but I
feel it inappropriate for the founder of Mozy to write an article that
wastes my time. I think I have to look for an alternative to my
backup solutions.
Unbelievable,

I agree Dominik! The post about his trip to Montreal has absolutely nothing to do with the Mozy product, and in fact, it takes away from the real reason for the newsletter which was to advertise their new Mac client.
