Real-time Spam Map

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-cool-idea dept.

iggychaos writes "Mailinator, the free, temporary email service gets a lot of spam (over a million emails a day). And with another cool application of Google maps, the site now shows a Spam Map indicating what sites are spamming mailinator in (nearly) real time.

    Yeah, fuck them. :)
