Why do you need my email to see the table of contents?
- batasrki 9y agoThe background image in the e-mail collection form can be opened in a new tab. It's full-size, so you can see the ToC without buying to book or signing up.
- tapoueh 9y agoSo that you can receive updates if I make some. You don't have to, though, read http://tapoueh.org/blog/2017/11/mastering-postgresql-in-application-development-launches/ http://tapoueh.org/blog/2017/11/mastering-postgresql-in-appl... where you will find the full Table of Contents, or just buy the book ;-)
- alpos 9y agoBest not to sneak an email collection scheme in on people even if it really is only for your newsletter. Most people have more than enough spam in their inbox already, if someone wants to get updates it's very easy for them to just click a button that says "Click here to get updates".
- spacemanmatt 9y agoEmail for updates being a foot in the door for further communications is pro forma and legally regulated. I think you're unnecessarily suspicious.
- Xorlev 9y agoEven if it isn't nefarious, it's often unwanted. I usually turn around if I have to provide my email to see some sort of whitepaper or sample because it means I will have to later unsubscribe from whatever email list I was put on and hope they don't share the list with others (which happens, often).
- jakobegger 9y agoWhenever someone asks for an email, I just type lalelu@yopmail.com, and then I go to http://yopmail.com/lalelu http://yopmail.com/lalelu and click the activation link. It's a beautiful service.
- lixardz 9y agoIf only there was an email service that let you create multiple email addresses for free! Or better yet one that let you create an email address that only exists for 10 minutes. A 10 minute mail service if you will.
