Happy Birthday Spam

May 5th, 2008

Apparently it is the 30th anniversary of the first recognisable mass marketing email. The company who sent it was DEC (a computer company no longer in business) and it was sent to roughly 400 people.

Spam has grown out of all control nowadays with a supposed 80% of all e-mail being spam, that equates to roughly 100 billion spam messages sent daily.

So happy birthday Spam and hopefully we will be drinking at your funeral in the near future
