Major spammers, never sign up for their newsletter
Feb 17, 2009 06:03 PM 7320 Views

This is to warn all of you against signing up for their email newsletters -- whatever you do, please DO NOT do that!! These guys provide no mechanism whatsoever for unsubscribing.


For example:




  • No unsubscribe link in their promotional emails




  • No unsubscription information or form on their website (https://jammag.com)




  • Contact email IDs (subscriptions@jammag.com and webmaster@jammag.com) mentioned on their website are useless, no one responds at all.






This is totally unfair, unethical and even ILLEGAL as per IT laws of several countries (don't know about India). An unsubscription mechanism is a must for any mailing list.Not only that, most of the times they send their emails multiple times! So you end up with 2-3 copies of the same email in your inbox. Isn't that frustrating? Not to mention highly unprofessional.


This time I've sent them a strong warning and CC'ed a lot more people from their Contact page (https://jammag.com/contact/index.php). If that too doesn't work, I'll include their CEO and Editor too.Hope JAM listens this time (for its own good!).


Should Baby Hanuman do modeling for Diapers?
Dec 22, 2006 07:57 PM 7433 Views

Would you like to see Baby Hanumana modeling for diapers? Are Actors and Models so expensive that advertisers have to consider God and Goddess for advertisement of a product? The answers to these Questions is definately NO .


It is my duty to throw light on page No-24 of 30 November to 14 december edition of JAM MAGAZINE.On this page there is an add where there is a photograph of Lord Shiva's Shivling beneath which it is written " khada Hai to Condom Hai" .This add is in Support of WORLD'S AIDS DAY.


No doubt the cause of add is GOOD but the concept of add is WORST.There could be better add to support WORLD AIDS DAY, is'nt it? In my opinion there could be an add like this where write up like bellow is written in the centre of the magazine's page


ONE IS RELIGIOUS NOT JUST BY


Offering Flowers to God


Observing Fasts on Certain days


Giving Charity to the poor


Chanting Mantras of God


Visiting Temples, Mosque or Church


But also by remaining truthful and Commited to his or her Spouse throughout life.



I am not at all saying any-thing against JAM magazine.In fact it is very informative but In my opinion add like this should not be encouraged because GOD is GOD.With this review I am attaching a Photograph of Lord Ganesha with a glass of Whisky in his hand & this photograph was printed in one of a leading Newspaper.


Review Of JAM Magazine
Jun 09, 2003 12:33 PM 10988 Views

There are 2 Teen Magazines (I would rather call them Newsletters for The teenager) in Bombay. JAM and JLT (Just Like That). Jam Costs Rs 7 and is fortnightly and JLT costs Rs 2 and is fortnightly. Why the price difference? Well, JLT has Benett & Coleman as its parent company. Doesn't ring a bell? For the less informed, The Times Of India group publishes JLT magazine hence the cheap price tag. But here I am reviewing JAM Magazine


I have a reason to buy such magazines, Its fun reading them when you are attending natures call and the quality of paper is good so you can wrap food in it without the food getting dirty and it also serves a good protection cover for Engineering Drawing Sheets and Project Transperancies (Engg and Management Students will emphatize With me).


Artciles


Like any sterotyped teenage magazine it contains various articles like Career Counselling, movie reviews, Interviews of Indian Music Bands, Posters. It has a contest page where easy questions are asked and u have to answer to win prizes. (the grand prize is a t-shirt..ohh boy how exciting).


On the positive side The magazine gives a career booklet evey month on various educational courses. It also has tips on various other things right from choosing a good hostel to buying a good computer. The language used is pretty ok and though it is definately not the Queen's English it is fairly decent. It also gives ads for summer jobspart time jobs. A Job as a freelance cartoonist is always available.


The Website for the magazine is https://jammag.com


Is it Worth Rs 7 ? I guess it is. As I said earlier the prime target of the magazine is an average Indian Teenager and some of the articles are such that any average indian teenager can emphatize.
