		<description><![CDATA[Twitter is fed up, and their not going to take it any more.  The thing with which they are apparently fed up is spammers polluting people's Twitter streams with everything from "make money fast" scheme sites to porn.  And so Twitter has added a "this is spam" button (well, actually a "report for spam" link) to everybody's profile, so that now you can report them to Twitter HQ with a single click.]]></description>

Well, while the specific details of the "who" aren't available, there are enough of them buying it to make spamming about Viagra and other similar meds <b>very</b> financially rewarding.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's one of the newest spam tactics - spam vacation messages.  Here's how it works:  spammers sign up for mailing lists, never intending to read them.  Instead they put themselves on permanent vacation status, create one of those infernal "I'm on vacation" messages full of their spam message, and let the vacation program do their spamming for them.  If they're lucky, the mailing list is one where the vacation message goes back to the entire mailing list.  So far we've seen spam vacation messages hawking mydosell.com, wholesaler-electronic.com, qigefa.com, and easevshop.com.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The newest Twitter porn scam - where the Twitter users' messages are primarily links to their x-rated website - entails the porn-pushing (or pron, if you prefer) Twitter user sending out a message thanking you for sending a "Follow Friday" their way.  Only, of course, you did no such thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, look what the spam cat just dragged in - address book importing spam from Bebo.com.  Why is it that these various social networking and other sites seem to simply consider the incidental spam attendant to address book importing (if they think about it at all) to be the cost of doing business - and, mind you, a cost <b>sent COD to the people receiving the spam</b> - when in fact it's really an occupational hazard?]]></description>

Other subject lines include "Who Will Be Our President Now?", "End time for the USA", and "Haven't you heard latest news about our president-elect?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Craig Hughes, who originally worked with the Spam Assassin team, and then went on to found GumStix, has discovered something interesting:  much more spam is received during the nighttime hours than during the day.  It's a dramatic enough difference that Hughes says that he is convinced that 'time of day received' is a useful test to help determine whether something is spam.]]></description>
