Spam’s billion-dollar bill

If your tightwad CFO is giving you the business about the anti-spam program you want to roll out, (Ed. – Flood his inbox with junk!). OK…that’s one way, but we were going to suggest you show him the results of the latest spam survey.

Researchers at the University of Maryland found that American businesses spend nearly $22 billion a year deleting spam from their inboxes. The survey of 1,000 adults found that on average, users receive 18.5 junk e-mails each day and spend 2.8 minutes deleting them. Extrapolated out there’s your $22 billion. Surprisingly, the survey found 75% get spammed daily. That’s it? Sounds low.

Anyway, here’s your ammo, go get that anti-spam program. (Ed. – Survey, schmurvey. FLOOD THAT INBOX!)
