Spam tally day three
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
A record in two ways today. First, the lowest spam count of the week so far (it’s been on a steady decline so I’m wondering whether spam peaks on a Monday), and second, the highest number of genuine emails mixed up among it: 25 from friends and colleagues.
Looking back on when I did this experiment last year, I got about 450 spams for the whole week. The year before that I got about 200. I’m getting more than that every day at the moment, so clearly things are getting much worse, much quicker than anyone has noticed.
