Sending unsolicited emails is not against the law. CAN-SPAM law states that users must be able to opt out of receiving emails after they receive the email. There is nothing against the law of random companies sending emails to any individual they like, regardless of a previous business relationship.
Opt In is a cultural idea, not a legal one.

I click on them frequently, and buy from them frequently. Often times the ads are more relevant than the organic search results.

oziumjinx | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you pay for SEO
Don't ever give money to an SEO firm that "guarantees" first page placement. It is impossible to guarantee such a thing and it is written over and over to never go with a firm that promises such:

SEEKING FREELANCER
We are located in New York City but remote work is totally fine.
We are rebuilding the backend of our application on Google AppEngine. Solid Python/Django skills are required. AppEngine experience would be a big plus. Familiarity with browser addons/extensions is also a big plus (Chrome, Firefox, IE).
Remote work totally fine. We prefer at least 10 hrs a week that you can commit. 20+ hrs would be great.
Would love to see work samples, github code, resume, random facebook photos, and blood samples. (kidding)

oziumjinx | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: review my startup - Getquantify
Here's an idea. Create a demo account so anyone can jump right in and experience the product first hand before having to sign up. Maybe make it so all recent changes get deleted every 24 hours or so to maintain a properly configured account (or even flush out all the user updates after their session expires).
With so many task management / project management apps on the market it's quite difficult to differentiate yourself and prove your value with just a snazzy looking homepage (it is a nice design, but so are the 100+ tools I've looked at).
Take a look at the way rule.fm does their tour (screenshots/videos). Very easy to get to those areas and
oziumjinx | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How long did you stuck with your startup before it is profitable?
Everything I take out I consider profit. My day time job pays the mortgage and all the bills.
Each month I look at the revenue and determine an arbitrary amount to pull out for myself.
oziumjinx | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How long did you stuck with your startup before it is profitable?
This was our "night time and weekends" project. I still have a full time job.
FYI, I do not write code. We have three very part time developers building it.
oziumjinx | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How long did you stuck with your startup before it is profitable?
Yep, after everything is said and done...hosting, tools, developers, etc.
oziumjinx | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How long did you stuck with your startup before it is profitable?
Bootstrapped the entire operation for three years before it started generating any revenue. Took about 5 months from turning on the monetization aspect before it broke even month to month...We're netting about $3k profit each month now.

Clearly explaining that there was a problem, the problem has been sent to the appropriate individual, and guiding them to potential solutions is a better approach.
