Most people think of emails when hearing "spam" or "UCE".
But, didn't you notice all the crap when searching the web for someting - I mean
all the link-farms which lead you to ebay or these sites.
What do you think about "Spam"-filters for the web? I don't mean
censorship like in China, although the principle is the same - just what if you
had your own personal filter (like a personal firewall) which you could train
and which would mark every "unwanted" page as such so you can separate
the wheat from the chaff at once?
actually you can really do that, specially with sp2, you can change your
security level if you want to, and you can specify what sites you'll block..but
where's the fun i n that? all you really need to do is surf smartly, know what
links will probably lead you there, don't click on everything for crying out
loud.. and firefox has a reliable ad-blocker, so pop-upsa ren't much of a hassle
if you use firefox.. if you're still using IE, then switch, IE sucks..
The idea behind all this is to make your "surfing smartly" easier. I
am using Firefox and Linux, but that makes no difference on the spam which shows
up when using google (or other search engines) with certain words...
Never wished for a software which adds tags like "link farm" to your
search results?
(Indeed, I've already combined "bow", the text classifier libraries,
with "squid", the proxy server.)
