What happens when you combine

Allen September 15th, 2005

A "spam magnet" and Google maps?  Mailinator:Spam Map.

Mailinator allows you to create a temporary email address and check back later for emails arriving at that address.  Your temporary email address is deleted after a few hours, so it isn’t as permanent as Yahoo’s AddressGuard.

Combine mailinator with Google maps and you get a cool application that lets you pin-point where the spam servers reside (well, sort of — it uses whois documentation for the address).

Enjoy!

BTW: Still very busy at work.  Have several draft postings that I’m trying to either (a) clean up or (b) purge.  I still refuse to do a link-dump.
