Email spam apparently declining
The below chart from the BBC (found by way of GOOD) shows email spam having had a precipitous drop off over the past few months.
Given marco’s thoughts form a few days ago on how spam is infiltrating Google’s search results, either spam creators are just taking a break for the holidays when people are less likely to be on their computers, or they’re finding they’re able to reach people in a growing number of ways, meaning less fighting with people’s inboxes and filters.
It could also be a pre-emptive move in light of services like Facebook trying to create an email platform of their own, no doubt with their own twist on spam filtering, contact recognition, and privacy.
Time will tell.
