Email oops reveals DSOnline’s bulk feeders
At 8:01 AM this morning, Kinh Bui of Dealer Specialties and Chante Velez of Dominion Enterprises sent out emails to every company that sends or receives a vehicle data feed to Dealer Specialties. Both of them forgot to use a blind copy, so now every company on the list has a contact email address for every other company that feeds inventory data to DS/GetAuto. Oops.
Thirty minutes later and I have reduced the list to about 120 unique email addresses. Each of these companies is capable of sending one of only a couple formats, and now I have a means to contact them. You do the math :)
