What Are Online Directories?

James: Online directory websites, such as Bigfoot Directories, are web services that make accessible to users information such as people’s email addresses, company information, postal addresses, etc., from various network resources. From these websites, users gather information on a range of topics from people search to finding jobs and booking travels.

Heather: Simply put, online directories are the ‘electronic counterparts’ of our paperback yellow and white pages but with more relevant search services. Aside from the usual people and business searches, other advance services are offered such as background checks, school directories, maps, criminal records and a whole lot more. Also, most directory sites offer personalized pages such as MyDirectories. This optional service enables users to take control of their directory listing and searches.

Bigfoot Anti-Spam is keeping tabs on current development in the battle against unsolicited emails or spam.

In the past couple of months, various Internet firms have sought new technology to bring down spam to more tolerable levels. Microsoft, Yahoo!, and American Online, notably, are working on new approaches that tackle spam at the domain and IP address levels.

American Online is testing technology called Sender Permitted From or SPF, which can verify that an email having an AOL return address originated from an AOL user, while Yahoo’s Domain Key plans to place a digital key on outbound Yahoo email to verify that messages come from Yahoo. Similar to AOL and Yahoo’s proposal, Microsoft’s Caller ID system looks at the IP address servers to verify whether the message received is ‘fake’ or ‘real’.

The email authentication systems these companies are developing would keep spammers from covering their tracks by hacking into email servers and falsifying data in a message’s sender field. On the other side, some organizations are also exploring techniques that would force spammers to pay a certain amount for a piece of unsolicited email. This scheme would hopefully whittle down the amount of junk emails being sent to mailboxes.

While these various anti-spam efforts are full of hope, these solutions are for the future. All these technologies are still being developed and undergoing limited testing. It may take some time before these solutions take into effect. In the meantime, individuals and businesses should continue to rely on the latest anti-spam filtering and gateway solutions.

Bigfoot Anti-Spam is always on its toes to come up with services and technology that can filter out even the most sophisticated spam. The Advance Anti-Spam Solution is a proactive program and does not require action from the end user.

Bigfoot Messaging Adopts Auto Reload Program

This new messaging feature enables paid SMS Manager subscription members to keep their accounts continuously active by maintaining a credit balance on an ongoing basis.
