These SMSes were from <A href="http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/unwireindia">Google </A><A id="227_64629" href="http://www.unwireindia.com/?p=789" class="tooltiplink">SMS channel</A>. I’m subscribed to my own blog (www.unwireindia.com) just to test how <A id="227_40319" href="http://www.unwireindia.com/?p=789" class="tooltiplink">SMS channel</A> works for my readers. <STRONG>To my surprise google send same update 9 times.</STRONG> <P>At the moment where such free SMS service companies are struggling to monetize the SMSes, how can google send same SMS alert for 9 times in the span of 5 mins. I know it can be technical issue, but is Google expected to do so ?</p> <P>I sincerely appologies to my SMS subscribers for such event (if they have received more than 1 sms for same alert). As you are aware, these things are beyond my control.</p> <P><A href="http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/unwireindia">Click here to subscribe for SMS updates</A> (hopefully, you will receive different update in different SMS) <IMG class="wp-smiley" alt=":P" src="http://www.unwireindia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif" /> </p> <P>This incident triggers to an interesting debate, <B>Can we term such alerts (if send more than once) as SPAM ? What do you all think ? Should google apologies ?</B></p> <P>Also, please mention if you are victim of such incident.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/54C6E6FE-5A3D-41E7-9F89-E90446CEA7DE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
