This is quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. I realise that statement doesn’t make much sense, but this is funny. Click through to YouTube to see the other episodes. Thanks for the tip Tom.

Sophisticated Spam

Callum — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 09:03:14 +0000

I received the most sophisticated spam email I’ve seen this weekend. The text of the message was:

Man you have got to tell me where you picked her up. I saw this on the web, it has to be you. see for yourself… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKfyzCIq1ls

Cunning readers will notice that although it looks like a link to a YouTube video, it is in fact a link to another web site (an IP address), which is presumably the spammer’s site. I came very close to clicking the link, but something about the message seemed a bit off (the fact I had no idea who the sender was maybe!).

Spam is getting smarter. I think the solution lies in trust mechanisms and authorised emails.

Notorious nobodies – Times Online

Andrew Chant sent me a link to an article Notorious nobodies at the Times Online. It’s a great piece about Web 2.0 and how the user generated content revolution is changing the world. Well worth the read I thought.

YouTubing

YouTube is an amazing source of entertainment. I’m just loving it. The internet here in Hong Kong is actually fast enough that you don’t have to wait for the video to load, and it’s uncensored, which is a breath of fresh air!

Goodbye Thailand, hello freedom of speech. Now to watch that controversial video of the King again…
