A tremendous number of mainstream Indian web businesses don't seem to understand that spamming is evil. And a lot of shady startups seem to think if the big guys are doing it, then mainsleaze must be just fine. So we find that new social networking sites think it is quite cool to send invites from non-existing people to join in. Mainstream and well funded travel portals, matrimonial sites, banks everyone has cosily joined the bandwagon of mainsleaze spam as a way of 'free' marketing, shady methods of lead generation and sharing of data without permission of customers, coupled with never ending telecalling spam pre-recorded or otherwise.

Off on and on I have been ranting on this blog about this lack of imagination amongst mainsleaze spammers. There is clear refusal of VCs and other Internet biggies to punish these rogue businesses.

Unfortunately the pressure mounts on good startups to spam if their competition does. Perhaps its time to un-veil an effort to promote the Do No Evil startups for free. Perhaps a blogger network with Free ad banner space for Do No Evil startups to even the odds of competing against mainsleaze led growth numbers of spamming web businesses. I don't have any definite idea on how to help promote the Do no evil startups but I am doing some loud thinking.
