Seriously RapidSSLOnline....

RapidSSLOnline sends out HTML formatted emails for certificate renewal containing a direct SSL login link to your account, for easy renewal (or change/delete) of SSL certificates.

Hmm.. And I actually thought that sending out direct login links by clear-text e-mail was a bad idea....

Seriously?

Important update: my link + title initially pointed at RapidSSL.com, while the correct should be RapidSSLOnline.com. Big thx to Tom Willows for correcting me!

Bring CRM - og Thon Hotels


Jeg er medlem i fordelsprogrammet til Thon Hotels, på linje med flere andre hotellkjeder. Mulighetene for en "gratis" overnatting er fristende nok. Regelmessig har jeg mottatt min bonusoversikt på epost, sammen med diverse tilbud for å få meg til å bruke både poeng og penger.

Jeg irriterte meg imidlertid fra første mail, som hadde ovenstående skjermbilde som innledning i hver eneste mail. Poeng til deg om du skjønner hvorfor allerede nå.

Facebook Promoted Posts


Passwords^13 in Las Vegas was exceptionally great. I may not be totally neutral when saying so, but after the conference and putting the videos online, I wanted to try out Facebook Promoted Posts. I was deeply disappointed. Here's why.

Quick look: PIXELPIN

A quick look at:

PixelPin says on their front page:

"Passwords are inherently flawed: they can be phished, hacked, dictionary attacked, and good ones are hard to remember. PixelPin solves all of these problems."
You really can't waive a bigger piece of red cloth in front of my eyes, so I had to take a quick look at what they have to offer. I like the idea of picture passwords, but I'm not all that happy about my observations here.
