Year of the spam
Posted February 14th, 2010.
Spam is an unfortunate reality when it comes to blogging. For every legitimate comment received, it’s not unusual for upwards of 50 spam to accompany it. Lately though it seems to be out of control.
Logging into my blog on this sunny Chinese New Year morning, I was welcomed by a new personal record of 387 spam messages over a period of around 12 hours. Advertising everything from coffee machines to no less than a dozen sex related drugs.
What a pain!
I still wonder if anyone actually buys anything as a result of these kinds of efforts.
