, Blogspot is hurting America
(A Whole Lotta Nothing blog)
Haughey: "A friend recently returned from a anti-spam conference and said someone gave a demo of a spamming tool. They showed how it grabbed a zillion email addresses from a database, started churning out the email while hopping from one free open proxy server to another, and one curious last step was to automatically create a new blogger account, create a new site on blogspot, and load the email text from the spam as an entry. The last step was to raise the search engine position for the spammer's site and message and was completely automated."

(Why is it that pornmeisters and spammers are always ahead of the curve on using technology? What these folks are doing is a legitimate marketer's wet dream: cheap turnkey mass marketing ... and that's a big part of the problem. Advertising, in this medium at least, is becoming too efficient to distribute. )
