You've got Spam!

Alright everyone, off to Chapter 2.

Three facts I learned from this week's Chapter are:

1). Creating a Signature: When creating a signature for your e-mails, keep it simple. All you need to provide is your name, title, and contact information. This will be helpful for my new job, which requires me to set up a signature.

2). Gmail: I have never heard of Gmail before until this week. I learned that Gmail promises more than two gigabytes of storage space for every user, which is quite a lot. This great feature forced other online Web-based e-mail services to change their offerings to keep their customers around.

3). Spam: In order to reduce the amount of spam that you receive on your e-mail account, combine letters from your first name and last name to create a unique name. Another way to avoid or reduce spam is to create several different e-mail addresses to reduce the likelihood of a spammer using one of the addresses.
