Binura na lang ni Myembrolang.....

Nakakalungkot na ng dahil kasi sa spam binura na ni Bhab ang kanyang mga entries sa kanyang blogsite. Yun blogsite pa naman na yun ang nag-trigger sa akin para magsulat at magkaroon ng ganitong playground. Kanina lang nag-text ako sa kanya ng ganito:

Nang dahil sa spam...
Nang dahil sa spam
ay binura na lang
ni myembrolang
ang kanyang playground.
Nang dahil sa spam
hindi delatang spam
ang playground ni myembrolang
ay kanyang binura na lang.
Nang dahil sa spam...
Bow!

Actually, nagkita kami ni Bhab noong Saturday sa Alpha, batian lang kami kasi busy rin ako sa maraming paperworks(from monday to friday, may directorial work ako sa Hollywood). Mayroon pa naman siyang blogsite na dumadami at si art na langgam ni Devi kaya lang nakakapang-hinayang lalo na kung isang electronic ads that works like a virus ang sisira ng gawa mo, sana gumawa ulit siya ng blogsite.

What is spam?

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.

There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on Internet users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have found that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant to most or all of them.) Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their systems.

Email spam targets individual users with direct mail messages. Email spam lists are often created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing lists, or searching the Web for addresses. Email spams typically cost users money out-of-pocket to receive. Many people - anyone with measured phone service - read or receive their mail while the meter is running, so to speak. Spam costs them additional money. On top of that, it costs money for ISPs and online services to transmit spam, and these costs are transmitted directly to subscribers.

One particularly nasty variant of email spam is sending spam to mailing lists (public or private email discussion forums.) Because many mailing lists limit activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, or use the mailing list as a direct target for their attacks.
