What we learned from our digital disaster experiences with IRMA.

Digital Disaster Experiences – What we learned from IRMA.

/in /by

Digital disaster experiences change with every new disaster. People’s ability to know about, withstand, and react to disaster has grown quickly in the past decade thanks to the excellence of new ideas and the hard work of digital producers. When Hurricane IRMA hit South Florida, the home base of our digital marketing company, Massive Impressions, we took note of how different the digital experience was compared to hurricanes that threatened in previous years.  The behavior South Florida’s digital audience in front of the hurricane’s path was very different due to technology. Florida experienced and unprecedented evacuation with clogged roads, gas running out and trips that normally only take a few hours lasting all day and into the night.

autoresponders and forwarders are liabilities now

Autoresponders and Forwarders Cause Too Many Problems

/in /by

We’re getting rid of autoresponders and forwarders configured through all our hosted accounts. Here’s why:

Autoresponders and forwarders are the mechanisms that were, for a long time, useful for managing the flow of email. These mechanisms generated automated responses and the automated re-routing of email messages. They were popular for both users and administrators. However, the Internet is always evolving.

/in /by

You’re probably reading this because your site got suspended. Fear not. It happens. The best of us have been there before, and we’ve escaped to advertise again.

Your site got suspended. What should you do?
