You know, there’s this honeymoon phase with every new communications application or protocol to come along where I get some of my most adventurous friends to try it out, and we play with it like a new toy.
But eventually, more people notice it and it gets crowded. Which can also be cool, and eventually productive.
And then the spammers find it.
Today, I received my first Skype spam.
Skype is a cool chat application that is cross platform, does voice as well as text and file transfer, and also lets you call out to phones and get incoming calls—which means you can have a phone number that calls you anywhere in the world. Neat!
Is there no way we can get the U.S. to spend less of its time executing minors, and a little more time executing spammers? Come on, guys! Sell tickets, I’d buy two.
