Spam Is The Product Of The Year?
from the most-disruptive-force dept
Research and consulting firm Basex has declared that spam is "The Product of the Year". The thinking, of course, is that the product of the year doesn't necessarily need to be good, but it should be the most disruptive - and spam can certainly lay a claim to that. It's one of the most recognized technology "products" and it is changing the way people use the internet. Hopefully, this is one product that will find itself to be a "fad" more than a real long term offering.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
