Real-time Spam Map 230
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."

Isn't that gambling with your privacy as well though, to store the email you want to receive in an inbox that anybody can access? Other than that it's a pretty cool site/idea; however, I think a lot of people have email accounts already that they dedicate to web usage.

1) The legit businesses, e.g. Real.com, Allume.com or any company with a valid record does NOT spam. Its basically a lie.

Not paranoia at all. A much more valid, checked realtime spam stats is at:
http://www.spamcop.net/spamstats.shtml [spamcop.net]
As a spamcop mail customer one thing bugs me is. People, especially newbies learned that service and they use bogus spamcop.net addresses when they sign up a legit service like product updates from Allume Systems (Stuffit etc). Result: As a customer of them I can't use my IMAP mail and have to use Yahoo.com as spamcop is simply rejected.
