Looking For Beta Testers For Lead Gen Tool

Good god, thats beautiful. Not sure on the TOS position, but if it gets the green light there is huge potential.

 

If they are on Linkedin, that would be classed as a B2b site, so those emails could be classed as business and therefore public domain....? I know its thin, like wafer, almost translucent, thin, but there is that argument?

 

So officially, we cant rip email addresses from Linkedin, I think thats a given.

On the B2B/Spam issue, in the UK its allowed if you can prove its relevant to the company/employee. More stuff below if you're interested.

You can ‘cold email’ an unsolicited, direct marketing email to a corporate subscriber, but be careful. The fact an email address ends in .co.uk does not mean it belongs to a limited company. Anyone can register a .co.uk domain name (the only UK domain names that tell you for certain that you are dealing with a UK limited company are the .ltd.uk and .plc.uk domains, but these are rare).

An email to sales@abcwidgets.co.uk or helpdesk@abcwidgets.co.uk is clearly to the corporate subscriber. But what if you are emailing 'Pauline Manager', an employee at a limited company, at a work address such as pmanager@abcwidgets.co.uk? The email will be opened by Pauline, who is an individual.

This is permitted if the email is work-related (eg promoting office furniture to a facilities manager) but not if it is personal (eg promoting family holidays to the sales team at a recruitment company).

This view is bolstered by the legal argument that the law defines a ‘subscriber’ as "a person who is a party to a contract with a provider of public electronic communications services for the supply of such services". Since it is ABC Widgets that is the party to the contract with the telecoms provider providing the work email address, not the employee, the argument is that the email is being sent to the company - the ‘corporate subscriber’ - and no restrictions apply. It doesn’t matter that the email can only be accessed by the individual employee.

Anyways, its a great tool, really really elegant but you're restricted with its use. Im still a fan though.
