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. It's oddly addictive to poke around and see where the spam is actually coming from."

    What the fuck is "Potty Word" ? Why in gods name do people have to resort to this fucking stupid bastard baby talk ? It really pisses me off.

    Though this is off topic, whenever I look at a Google Maps map of the world I'm always reminded of how distorted 2D maps actually are. For example, Greenland is actually quite a bit smaller than Australia (in fact, less than a third of the size). The actual country sizes definitely puts things into a better perspective than the 2D google maps.
