So here is another perspective. Most people request a confirmation and/or a read receipt, not to "spy" or to be disrespectful, but; because they want to make sure "it got there."

That way, they are sure everyone is on the same page.

With respect to resumes or apps for jobs, the other perspective is it would be nice to know that it was received when recruiters are so busy. Then, at least, and depending on time, you can follow-up or realize that your resume or app just didn't make the cut and one can go on.

But not everyone is as respectful as you to say thank you. They receive it, handle it and voila. If the next step is not ther job, the next is up to the next and so on.

It does also help the sender know not to keep pestering the recipient.

I don't know why you guys hate read receipts so much. I regularly send read receipts to good friends; I want to know for sure if and when they read it. It isn't an issue of trust, it's an issue of, "did they read it?" because that question is important when dealing with important information. "

If it's "important" enough to do something like that, its important enough to call the person, or speak to them in person along w/ the email.

Wow, I have read so many people leave comments that are negative to this service. Let me tell you how www.didtheyreadit.com, saved my "you know what" and how they have my business for "life". Read on...

I own an accounting firm. When a former client of mine sued me over negligence, we settled out of court. One of the conditions to settling was that he demanded I come back and represent him in an Estate Tax issue he was having problems with. Although it sounded nuts, there were no parameters established regarding this condition and accordingly I really needed closure from this nut so I agreed to take it on and honor the agreement, and then I would not have to deal with this guy again right after this estate issue was resolved.

Anyway to make a long story short, when I sent him an email right after settling, I got a "read-notification" that he sent my email to a 3rd party that was extremely detrimental to me. I had proof of it in my hands. Thus when we (my attorneys' and I) confronted his attorney with this, and the fact that through the service called NetAcuity (if I spelled that correct) has 94% accuracy on the information included with the email notification that you receive, we were able to prevail, in having the settlement requirement set aside.

So when I hear or learn of people who have issues with this service and the fact that people are reading them or tagging them for "read" notifications, well my response is "it's all fair-game". When you sign up for an email account and begin to correspond with people over the "net" there is an inherit risk. It's no different than the government being able to review your web surfing histories via the Patriot Act that was passed post 9/11.

My advice and it's very elementary: If you want to correspond with people and not be fearful of what you say or when you read something or whatever other statistics or information that the service reveals, then just cancel your email account...

I'm not responsible for helping companies track their ad effectiveness.

Heather ... would you refuse to accept a letter that was sent certifed with a return receipt that requires your signature. Do you accept express letter, packages etc from UPS, Fed Ex and you know you did not order something, because the tracking on it tells the sender that you got it and sometimes you are required to sign also? What's the difference ... at least when someone requests a read receipt in email they are being up front and not sneaky about it as opposed to "Did they read it?" I can't believe that in this day and age of emailing that you make the statement "Look, if you sent me a mail and it shows up in your sent items, then I got it." You can send an email and it won't bounce back to you but it did not get received either ... Every body knows that. From a makerters point of view "Did they read it?", is a great tool to evaluate if your list is a waste of time or if it is of value. Just because I use it wouldn't mean I am spamming either. There are lots of autoresponders that tell you how many emails got opened and who opened them and even if they clicked on your URL. That's very valuable information .. it tells you how effective your ad copy is. yadda yadda ....

I cant belive why anyone who needs tracking would use this crap service & pay 4 that :D

1. Its SO OLD trick
2. There is better services
3. Its SO easy to fool this system
4. It's spam’s big networks

I was starting to use similar technique couple years ago, whit much more detailed information then DidTheyReadIt.com does, you need a little bit easy programming, and ya have much better control panel & results then they have. Clever idea to make money whit something so easy :D

... i can't believe there is so many ignorant people who thinks that this is something new, only thing what is new, is big advertisement trick, CNN, forums, etc lie it would be something extraordinary, camo0on, all this talk about this supper technique is total crap :)

Hi

I just want to now how it's possible that when i forward an e-mail to someone in africa. My didthereadit account tells me that the e-mail i sent was read in a different location from where the recipient is located.

Would this be the location where the Main Server is located or is there a possibility of someone intercepting my e-mails?

I am very much concern, because my friend has claimed never to have travelled to the locations specified.

John--OK, that kind of freaks me out. I guess one always hopes that nobody would go to that much trouble.

Lamp-not sure I understand...first they are spying and now they are chasing me? Oh great ; )
