Splogs, Spam, What's Next?
I found the article Spam + Blogs = Trouble pretty interesting. It seems like when ever a new internet technology emerges these spamers find a way to corrupt and make money off users like you and me.
What's strikes me as funny is those spamers and splogers will always be on step ahead of legitimate tech companies trying to protect the integrity of their software and programming.
Who's right in this battle? Multi-million dollar companies who create internet programs like blogs and back in the day email? Or the spamers who figure out how to manipulate the internet to put money in their pockets?
Does the age old saying "survival of the fittest," apply to the internet?

I too found this article interesting. You're right, it seems like anything people do that is shady (spam, cracks, hacks, pirating, etc.) that they're always able to stay one step ahead of the game. In the early 90s there was a Robocop 3 game for the Amiga that needed a dongle to play the game; the company claimed it was "uncrackable." A week or so before the game's release, crackers sent a cracked copy of the game to some game magazine. Oops on Ocean software for making that claim!

I think its weird that spammers are able to stay in business in the first place... who ACTUALLY clicks on spam e-mail ads and website ads? I guess someone does, its just hard for me to believe that anyone would. I don;t think I would be able to be friend with someone who clicks on spam ads. ;-)
