The Spammable

If you read the last post in response to Cameron’s ‘30 day no spam challenge’ you’ll know that I was really struck on the idea and was thinking of a way of taking it on and doing something similar.

Initially I figured I’d do the same thing as him and then compare the results but towards the end of the post decided it would be better to try something different.

What I’ve decided to do is sign up for an e-mail address from each of the four mail free providers, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and Lycos then take that address and publish it ONCE on this blog post.

After I’ve posted it here I don’t intend to do anything else with it myself other than check the spam volume every few days or so - I don’t even intend to post the e-mail addresses again on the post about the spam volume.

Here are the addresses:

Yahoo: upyouregoblog@yahoo.co.uk
Hotmail: upyouregoblog@hotmail.co.uk
Lycos: upyouregoblog@lycos.co.uk
Google: upyouregoblog@googlemail.co.uk

Although I’m not personally going to do anything other than post the e-mail addresses on this blog post YOU can re-post them anywhere you like.

Post them on message boards, in chatrooms or on your own blog - the goal is two fold…

First - see how quickly something can spread online from a single post on an insignificant blog

Second - see just how much spam can be generated through posting an e-mail address online and which provider generates the most spam.

So go for it - do your worst - post it everywhere.
