Assignment # 7

Subject: Choose at least one post/article of your classmates and make a review.

I chose to review the article of Ms. Ariane Joy Ang which entitled "A MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO SPAM REDUCTION". Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. There are different forms of spamming;E-mail spam, Instant Messaging Spam, Newsgroup spam and forum spam, Mobile phone spam, Online game messaging spam, Spam targeting search engines (spamdexing), Blog, wiki, and guestbook spam, etc.. The most widely recognized form of spamming is e-mail spam In e-mail spamming, we received unwanted massages form unwanted or unknown senders. Persons who create electronic spam are called spammers. There are also identified as "bad senders". Spamming happens to become a problem to everybody. Before spam messages is not an issue but when the internet is introduce in to many people, allowing them to send and access information, rapid growth of spam messages arises, and by that they can be no longer manageable and has been out of controlled. Based on my experience, i do received spam emails, and it is very irritating because of so many unwanted messages. Your Inbox or Bulk will be full of nonsense mails. With those problems stated above, this article which is about multifaceted approach to spam reduction,
talks more on spam fighting. They're developing techniques to solve the problem fully
but different techniques excel in different ways. We really in a constant battle between
those who want to send spam and those who want to stop it. As stated to be more effective we must fight in many ways ("Multifaceted") that we should win the battle however from the word reduction it is impossible to eliminate. What we can do is just merely to reduce this problems. This is very interesting topic for me, since i can relate with this.
