MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones

Posted by timothy on from the perhaps-in-some-other-bubble dept.

Makarand writes "Thanks to a good job done by the tech staff and filtering software, office workers in the US are not bothered by spam mail and the value of email communications has not eroded. A survey conducted by Pew Internet & American Life Project, whose findings are reported in this article by MSNBC.com, found that spam is certainly a problem for personal email accounts but not for company provided email accounts. This is contrary to the perception that American workers are wasting too much time battling spam." YMMV.

    I find it ironic that slashdot links to stories that are hosted on a company owned by microsoft.

    If find it odd that Slashdot posts several anti-MS stories every day and yet then proceeds to post a story linked to MSNBC... Who's side are we on here? Maybe if slashdot was truly anti-microsoft they would refrain from linking to their news network. Then again I see MS ads all over this site, so I guesse it's hard to avoid microsoft if you actually want to make money.

    Just bford@ford.com (or something like that).

    It's real easy to tell to because you get
    b.ford@ford.com (undeliverable)
    bill.ford@ford.com (undeliverable)
    william.ford@ford.com (undeliverable)
    bford@ford.com (no auto reply so it hit something).

    He was real nice though, forwarded my questions to the head of marketing. I was inquiring as to why they don't make a Cobra 2 seater instead of the faster standard mustang body style.

    Ford kicks Chevy's ass. GM sucks.
