Is Gmail Having Spam Issues?

GmailIs it just me or has Gmail’s spam filter system been pretty bunk lately? It worked wonderfully for a very long time and now, I’m getting more and more spam in my inbox daily. A lot of them are phishing scams. You know the type. “I am Ambassador Falahuey and I would like to make a proposal for you my friend”. Whatever!

Anyway, I’m not sure if others are seeing the same trend and maybe Google has adjusted their spam filtering system or not but it’s driving me insane. I believe Matt Cutts had explained a similar set of circumstances early last year but I was unable to find the post. I do know that Google uses Gmail as their own company email system, so I’m not sure if I’m a stray victim or one of millions of people experiencing this. Either way, I hope Google gets it fixed soon because I basically live by my gmail.

Although I guess I can’t really complain much because Gmail is a free service and it has more features than any other free email service I found out there and they give tons of space! If you don’t use Gmail, I would still highly recommend you sign up for an account and use it.

Hundreds Of Free Wallpapers To Blow Your Desktop Up

Serenity by nikander

I get bored very easily with the same old wallpaper on my desktop every day, and if you’re like me, you want a variety of new wallpapers to keep you satisfied. I like to base my wallpaper selection for the week on my overall mood. For example I may choose the wallpaper of a man leaning from a cliff if I’m feeling adventurous, etc.

I was nosing through Smashing Magazine this morning and came upon some really cool wallpapers for your computer. There are literally hundreds of free wallpapers to choose from. You could definitely have a new wallpaper for each day of the year if you we’re so inclined. Anyway, check out the collection I found at Smashing Magazine by clicking here.

Is Twitter On The Sale Block?

_twitterOn May 5th Owen Thomas at Gawker.com made some statements hinting toward a possible sale of Twitter to a very heavy-hitter in the tech world, Apple. However, on May 7, 2009 Ian Paul confirmed PC World Twitter’s statement that they are in-fact not for sale.

“President of Operations Santosh Jayaram was talking about the future of Twitter’s search engine. Speaking on a discussion panel with representatives from Twitter and LinkedIn, Jayaram said Twitter was going to start indexing Web pages linked to in Twitter posts, according to CNET. The basic idea behind indexing Web pages is not to compete against larger search engines like Google, but to supply a faster alternative for real-time information.

Jayaram also said that Twitter would institute a reputation ranking system for its users, in order to help Twitter’s search engine rank search results. When you search a “trending topic” on Twitter — the list of Twitter’s 10 most popular topics that appears in a Twitter user’s sidebar — the reputations of people posting messages about your particular topic would be taken into account when ranking search results. Twitter’s engineers are still trying to figure out how to determine a Twitter user’s reputation, but hopefully they will not create some sort of Twitterocracy like Loic Lemeur has suggested.”

My Rainy Day

Clown and Zombie Pig Flu Masks?

I found this a little strange when I first saw it but I guess there’s got to be a little humor in everything otherwise, we’d all go crazy. I like the idea because it gives you the opportunity to protect yourself (somewhat) from the Pig Flu and make a much needed fashion statement at the same time. As for mr personall, I think I’d decorate mine as a zombie face or something along those lines since I love horror films. How would you decorate your Pig Flu mask? Or have you? If you have, send them to me at jayadkins [at] gmail [dot] com
