The Trouble With Google…

…is that they seem to live in some sort of Utopia where spam simply doesn’t exist. Why do I suggest that?

Take a look at their latest product: Google Friend Connect. It’s an application/suite of apps. that can easily add social networking features to an otherwise static website and requires little programming or coding knowledge by the website owner. There’s a video that explains how it works.

All your friends and other members of the public need is a Google Account to be able to interact with your website. And therein lies the problem.

I run a number of message boards and blogs and have noticed more and more of the spam signups/user registrations are coming from confirmed Gmail addresses, i.e. spammers with fire and forget Google accounts. So imagine your spangly new website features. How long before they would be full of comment spams linking to online casinos and drugstores? About as long as it would take for Google to find your site and include it in Google searches, I’d bet.

Such a pity because if that Utopia were to exist, it’d be a fabulous thing.

jilly@mail.win4now.co.uk or help@win4now.co.uk or sales@win4now.co.uk who, along with owners info@dmri.co.uk sales@dmri.co.uk sales@carsource.co.uk sales@vansunited.co.uk, claim to be members of the Spammers Association, sorry the Direct Marketing Association. They used complaints@communicatorcorp.com or info@communicatorcorp.com to send the Spam out for them, probably because they too are members of the DMA.
