| I have three email adresses for different purposes. On gmail, yahoo and a main Polish server. As of today I get the least spam on Gmail and the most on the local server with Yahoo in between. I know that one day Google will probably increse the level of spam to the levels of the other two, however if it will have anything to do with my interests, rather then random stuff, then I'm all for it. Work related, travel newsletters or maybe some wetlook ads insted of porn and online pharmacies would be a welcome change. Anyway, as they are just screening the subject line, I don't think it's as bad as reading snail mail... The trend however is disturbing! |

FYI....there were 2 separate segments on the tv news today that were about spam and spammers, and just illustrate how you have no privacy rights when you use systems operated by Google or Twitter.
The first news piece was about a new spider program Google have now created, that basically reads and stores all the subject headers of any emails that Google mail users create, and now Google store and sell that information to spammers (or they spam you with their own ads). Basically, Google is reading all your private emails and storing the keywords that you mention in your subject headers, and then based on what you talk about in your emails, then they use those keywords to spam you with advertising etc. Can you imagine if the snail mail post office were to do such a thing...and to read all your letters and then based upon the contents of your mail, then they use that information to send you spam or junk mail....pretty outrageous. Anyway, if you use Google mail, be aware that whatever you talk about in your subject headers,...you have no privacy rights, cos Google now reads and stores that information and uses it to spam you with advertising and junk mail now.
The second news piece, was about Twitter, and how spammers have now developed programs that trawl Twitter and collect email addresses, so if you use Twitter you should never quote your email address, cos that will merely cause you to get more and more spam.
Personally, I do not think much of the artificial intelligence programs that spammers use....i.e. I get spam every single day from the same company trying to sell me a golf club membership.... and I have never played golf in my life, and I live 800 miles from where this club is located....so I dunno why they think I would want to travel 800 miles to play a game that I have no clue how to play.....but I guess that is more likely than the BREAST IMPLANTS that the spammers keep trying to sell to me....ha ha
