1. Spam – Placing your email address on a contact page allows spam bots to find it and greatly increases the amount of spam you receive.
2. Appearance – A contact form simply looks more professional than slapping your email address on a page. You want your website to look as nice as possible, right?
Today’s guest post is from Noah Coffey, a web developer/designer and creator of Tweetbrite.
One of my favorite uses for FormSpring is throwing together a registration form for a conference or event. As the popularity of Twitter continues to explode, I’ve noticed more event registration forms asking for attendee’s Twitter user names. If you are organizing and event, wouldn’t it be nice if you could automatically tweet every time someone registers for your event?
I’m very excited to dive into my new role as Marketing Specialist at FormSpring. I was first introduced to FormSpring by my brother, Ryan, who is the Support Specialist here. Having grown up the youngest of three boys and taking my fair share of lumps, I was somewhat apprehensive about working with my older brother. However, I’m happy to report that I read through the employee handbook and swirlies and pink bellies are a big “no-no” here at FormSpring. I just hope that Ryan read his handbook as well.
