Would make an interesting thesis I think.<BR/><BR/>I read a Sci-fi story on how this guy developed a system to deal with spam.

I hate to say it, but I bet that's the next "big thing" to happen. If it should happen, we may have to reassess tools like technorati. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully we will have transparent authentication solutions by then, so this won't have that great an impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
