if i give act a new BUSINESS email address of a prospect i would expect it to be able poopulate lots of fields with suggestions
eg bob@ibm.com
I would expect it to suggest the company name and website as IBM
i would then expect it to look at ibm.com/about.htm and ibm/com/contact.htm firstly to see if they exist but then to get standard contact info from those pages..of course I appreciate that this will nto work in lots of cases but it will also work in lots of cases!!
well; it would help me anyway
That's an interesting idea. I know it can be done. I bought something on the internet last night from a company that I don't think I've ever bought anything from before and after I filled in my email address they filled in the rest of my information on the order form. It was actually a bit innerving at the time but in the end I decided that it didn't really bother me that much. It does mean that if someone has your email address that somewhere out there is a company that is providing home addresses for them which would probably be a privacy issue for most people.
I wasn't aware that companies like IBM had contact pages with contact information for people like bob@ibm.com. Do they really? I know that smaller companies do but I didn't think that companies like IBM (360,000 employees?) did.
