Email Spam Depends On First Letter Of Address

image

According to the BBC, you’re more likely to suffer more at the fingertips of spammers if your email address begins with S, A or M with the 5th most violated letter being P!

Now, do you think Dr Richard Clayton from Cambridge University is taking the M, I, C, K, E, Y?

Kevin Pietersen, The Oval, Freddie Flintoff & Confidence

I was at The Oval on Friday for South Africa’s drubbing at the hands of England’s cricket team.

As Flintoff’s been saying, Pietersen’s confidence is rubbing off on the team and it certainly looked like it as they thwacked the Saffers all over the park and again yesterday at

Lords.

At the end of one over, after Patel got one of his five wickets, Kevin ran about 70 yards to shake his bowler’s hand and thank him for his contribution.

I, like many others, was worried that Pietersen’s confidence and imperious nature would have a detrimental effect on the team and that he couldn’t captain anyone else but himself.

So far he’s proved us wrong and has been nothing less than impressive both on the field and when interviewed.

I love the quote from him about being under the South African cosh after the test series:

“Pressure is a privilege!”

Anyway these photos we taken with my HTC TYTNII using the Panorama setting.

I think the lens is screwed up because they add the blue haze but in fact they’ve turned out ok!

Nathan Buggia Talking Live Search Webmaster Tools

Here’s a great video interview by WebProNews with Nathan Buggia from Live Search’s Webmaster Tools.

Nathan, Jeremiah and the lads presented at SES San Jose on the latest release of their suite of gizmos to help webmasters figure out what is and what is not getting indexed by Live Search.

The session was a bit sparsley populated with delegates. 🙁

Ironic seeing as how many people tell us they want us to get better and be a driving force in search! 🙂

So if you missed it you can check out the presentation on the Live Webmaster Blog.

 

Get Free Coffee

The Microsoft campus in Redmond is pretty green.

Toyota Prius ferry you around from building to building and the cafe has bio-degradable cutlery as well as multiple receptacles for re-cycling bottles, cans, food etc.

Today I spotted this sign as I queued for my “iced black americano no whip!”.

They’re now giving away the used coffee grounds from the thousands of cups the make everyday to the green-fingered amongst us.

Wonder if I’ll get ’em through UK customs!
