SPAM

[Giuliana Verrazzano]

Have you noticed how when you open the Dominance charts they all seem to be there for you when you log back in each time? Once you create a doc this gets added to that "Collection" and depending on the privacy settings other people's have put on their list then theirs will get added too so you can get back to it every now and then to check what new things they have.

The main difference with group spam and google doc is that in a group spam I show you what I consider my stellar breeds (or at least that's what I do), I try to squeeze in the best cats I have to call your attention, but for example, maybe my Bengal Snow with Double Dip Flora eyes or my Chateau Grey & White with Caramel is not something that tickles your fancy.

On a google doc you can surf through what I have and I can keep it updated so my friends and costumers can always check back in a few days time and see what I have new. I can list all my collectibles for example (which are not displayed at my shop for the lack of prims). I think it's a passive way of spamming and I am finding it harder and harder to contrast it with group chat spam because they seem to serve different purposes. Group chat spam, in my humble opinion might be more useful for quick, flashing reminders of kitties up for auction, bidboards or an auctions about to start and they are reminding us of their line up or maybe a special event happening in your shop (raffles, hunts, anything) whilst a google doc list is a more "composed" way of advertising what you have available for sale.

I can easily see this as a good tool for private sales, for those breeders who "order" a kitty before it's even born. For those who are looking for something very specific. For those who want to surf through your stock and maybe find something they thought no one had (or even something they didn't know they "needed" this happens a little too often to me when I shop around the markets )

I am sure I would love to go through my breeder friend's google docs lists

Now, if it wouldn't take me about a month to put it all together it would be fabulous! lol
