Email may be on the way out, thanks to spam
June 18th, 2006According to Postini, better than 85% of all email traffic is now spam.
One of two things is going to happen here. Either internet users are going to adopt a new form of communication (and it isn’t IM, as spam there is rising rapidly as well), or someone is going to solve the spam problem and become an instant multi-billionaire.
I am going to say the former is more likely. And maybe we should start looking at a substitute for DNS while we’re at it.
***UPDATE***
Ah, just in time - OpenDNS to the rescue.
