I suppose it’s just me, but I’m seeing lots of spam in my gmail box. I’m seeing five or six messages a day, which may not sound like much (especially compared to my Yahoo or cox-internet accounts, which seem to be MADE for spam), but these are just messages in my inbox, not counting the ones that roll straight to the spam folder. (If you want to get tons of spam? Use a Cox-internet e-mail address. I tell you I never even gave that address out to anyone, since I figured out in a week that it would be spam, spam, spam and eggs, and more spam. I cancelled the account almost a year ago and of course they didn’t actually close it and there are 1,000 spam messages piled up in there right now)
Anyway, what was I saying?
Oh, yeah, Gmail letting spam through. Seems kinda odd that the Mighty Google can’t handle this somehow. It’s still in Beta (but if you want an invite I have 300 or so) so maybe they’ll address this down the road. Or maybe they’ll give us IM chat and such first.
Today’s:
Spam (1000)
On Yahoo! it doesn’t count toward your 2 Gigabyte storage. But Yahoo also gives you a “empty” button so you can wipe it out. If I wanna get rid of the Spam in gmail, I have to delete the messages one screenful at a time, or 20 messages at a time. Uh, I don’t think so.
