I now have the email addresses of 544 people who signed up to receive info about B+W thanks to what is hopefully an oversight that will never happen again.  The service launched today and the company sent out an email to those people who submitted their address.  Normally with a newsletter like that, you would put all the addresses in the BCC field, or even better, use a newsletter system that creates one email per email address.  B+W put all the emails into the To field (split over a couple of runs), so now everyone who signed up has everyone elses email address – including mine.  I had a quick skim over and saw some addresses from people i recognise, and some that im sure wouldnt be too happy to know that 544 people now have their address.  Perhaps a little care and polish is required B+W.
Looking forward to see what changes – if any – happen across the board in regards to mobile pricing – particularly data pricing.
