Tis the Season for Fact Checking and Tighter Spam Filters
2012-04-22 07:54:00 I have to say, I'm not fond of election years. There's enough political mud-slinging, lies, and outright disinformation to fill the Grand Canyon, with enough left over to fill the Mariana Trench. (I wish I could say I meant that as hyperbole...) I'm especially not fond of the onslaught of forwarded blast emails by concerned citizens (usually originating from political shills) sharing "vital" information that those of us with lesser brains need to be made aware. To help you sift and sort through the miasma, here is a listing of some of my favorite legitimate fact-checking sites. I've excerpted descriptions of each site from the article, Internet research for the careful citizen by Kathleen Atkins. This way, when you are the recipient of well-meaning friends forwarding those lovely blast emails without first checking the veracity of the content, now you can get to the bottom of it for yourself! Happy Truth Hunting! And don't forget to vote at every opportunity-- read Seth Godin...

This has been going for a long time since the advent of the Internet but no one has come close to removing this threat and annoyance from the web in its entirety. Cyber Criminals always seem to be one step ahead. Even Google has not yet perfected its algorithm to detect and filter spam which is why we still end up with some ‘Lottery Winner’ mail in my inbox. The cases of spam, e-mail scams, phishing and general online malpractices are on the rise in India and the world and for once everyone is concerned about it. Some of the biggest Internet companies are teaming up with banks and coming up with a new approach to battling spam online.

How Blackhat SEOs Send Comment Spam
2011-11-15 09:00:00 I posted last week about how I dabble in the Blackhat SEO world. I mainly do this for my own personal knowledge on how search engines work, and how to improve my blog?s search engine results. The interesting thing about how these guys game the search system, you learn about how it all works. It?s kind of like hacking or modding in that way. When you pull the machine or the program apart to see how you can change, or manipulate it, you learn way more about how it was designed to work in the first place. Anyway, back on topic, so one of the big time goals for SEO professionals in the past was to increase their website?s PageRank in Google. Other search engines have their own search mechanism?s, but Google?s always seemed be the best one to game, because it always provided the best results for your search. That?s why they are number one! If you had a good PageRank, then the rest of the search engines would pick up your site naturally. Before I get any further, let?s look at what Page...

Facebook To Do Away With Spam Photo Tags; Adds Un-tagging Tools
2011-09-14 14:58:00 Stiff competition by Google+ has forced Facebook to revamp a lot of its interface in the past few months, and now we have another development: Picture Tag Screening. Spammy photo tags have been a major irritant for some months now, with people mass tagging their list in everything from cat pictures to animated cartoons. In an attempt to keep this in control and curbing unwanted photos, this new feature has been introduced. Earlier, anyone was free to tag a user in any photo and they had to manually go to the picture and untag themselves so that it wouldn’t appear on their profile. Now with the new untagging tool, users have additional options. Namely, they can block users, report abuse and also untag themselves, directly from the untag option. This applies not only to photos, but also to posts, notes and videos. A Facebook spokesperson in a statement to the Daily Mail, said,“One of the top requests we’ve heard is for the ability to approve these tags before they show up ...

SMSGupshup’s Platform To Remove Spam Calling And Spam Messages
2011-06-24 07:16:00 The government’s crackdown on bulk messaging threatens to harm a lot of businesses which revolve around text messages. To tackle this and at the same time keep cellphone subscribers’ interest in mind SMS Gupshup has come out with an application for operators and mobile marketers to easily update their do no call list. This will ensure that messages are sent to only interested people and not just blindly delivered to all of their database. SMS Gupshup claims that the government’s efforts haven’t really affected the number of spam messages because the guidelines that TRAI has set are too tedious to implement. The government comes out with the National Consumer Preference Registry (NCPR) twice a week. The NCPR is a list of all subscribers who want to either completely stop receiving bulk messages or don’t want SMSes about certain topics sent to them. Because the list is updated twice a week, it becomes time consuming and expensive for large companies t...

How we protect ourselves from spam while receiving customer inquiries
2011-02-02 14:32:00 If you decide to publish an email address on your website to receive customers’ inquiries, it is inevitable that you will very shortly begin to receive spam messages mixed with real support requests. You will then wonder whether there are efficient ways to protect oneself against unsolicited advertising and to receive only messages from website visitors and registered customers? The answer is “yes”. We have been providing customer support services for more than five years and have never changed the email addresses of our support team. During this period anyone could have added our addresses to spam mailing lists, but we receive very little unsolicited mail. The first line of defense is our mail server, which rejects over 90% of incoming messages at the mail pre-processing stage! Mail pre-processing involves several filtering steps: The sender’s IP address is checked against the spammers black list; the presence of the correct DNS record on the sender’s...

Spam Musubi for Brunch at Sunda?
2010-08-27 04:59:00 Last week, I was lucky enough to be chosen to take part in a "brunch experiment" for the trendy Asian hot spot Sunda. While some might fear the invitation to take part in an "experiment" at brunch, I felt this might be my calling.

Another Spam Attack Hits Facebook – Winamp!
2010-05-15 17:11:00 Nothing seems to be working for Facebook these days. If you checked out your Facebook stream today, you must have noticed something like this : What you are seeing here, isn’t actually a video. What it does is – misleads you – when you click on the link it takes you to a Facebook application called Winamp developed by Kiley Hodge ( which seems to be fake ) and then what it does is ask you permission to access your profile thus you forward this spam to your friends and this chain reaction seems to be never ending. Update – Its not just an application called Winamp, there are several more ! Please avoid any message that contains the text “ <Name> , this is without doubt the sexiest video ever! †Solution ? First and foremost. Go to the application page, then block this application. Secondly, write on your wall about this problem, make your friends alert about it so that they don’t do the same mistake as some of your friends did. I...
