Bird Watching: How could CAN-SPAM be improved?

If you’re not on Twitter yet, here are the kinds of conversations that you’re missing:

@EmailKarma >> If you could change 1 thing in CAN-SPAM what would it be? ex: Opt-out to opt-in? 10 days to 3 days?

@LorenMcDonald >> RT @EmailKarma: If U could change 1 thing in CAN-SPAM what would it be? ex: Opt-out to opt-in? 10 days to 3 days? (LM: hmm, opt in probably)

@RetailEmailBlog >> @EmailKarma I think consumer expectations and ISP policies go far beyond what CAN-SPAM stipulates at this point.

@spamfighter666 >> RT @EmailKarma: If you could change 1 thing in CAN-SPAM what would it be? ex: Opt-out to opt-in? 10 days to 3 days?

@EmailKarma >> @RetailEmailBlog Exactly why it needs to be updated... to many people using the low bar as an excuse for bad practices.

@EmailInstitute >> RT@LorenMcDonald RT @EmailKarma: If U could change 1 thing in CAN-SPAM what would it be? ex: Opt-out to opt-in? 10 days to 3 days?

@justinpremick >> @EmailKarma it doesn't really affect what i do as a sender for reasons @RetailEmailBlog states. as a consumer? i'd say opt-in.

@LorenMcDonald >> @EmailKarma @RetailEmailBlog Actually govt doesn't even enforce most of existing basics of CAN-SPAM (e.g., affirmative consent)

@sharonmostyn >> RT @LorenMcDonald: RT @EmailKarma: If U could change 1 thing in CAN-SPAM what would it be? (LM: hmm, opt in probably) #emailmarketing

@jordancohenpr >> RT @EmailKarma If you could change 1 thing in CAN-SPAM what would it be? (JC: I'd make it apply to politicians! http://bit.ly/7rthDC )

@RetailEmailBlog >> @EmailKarma Is it reasonable to think the gov't would take the time to update CAN-SPAM? I don't see that happening anytime in next 5 years.

@jordancohenpr >> RT @RetailEmailBlog @EmailKarma-not only not in the next 5 years; I'd say "Never". Too many WAY more important things going on on the Hill

@RetailEmailBlog >> @jordancohenpr I wanted to leave the door open, but you're probably right that CAN-SPAM will never be revisited legislatively.

@eAmLaSiAlC >> RT @RetailEmailBlog: @EmailKarma Is it reasonable to think the gov't would take the time to update CAN-SPAM? I don't see that happening ...

@EmailKarma >> @RetailEmailBlog @jordancohenpr Anything is possible :D

@shannonholato >> RT @EmailKarma @RetailEmailBlog @jordancohenpr Anything is possible :D (SH: The power of positive thinking...)
