Editor's Notes
- Email’s moved to the back burner, partly because Social Media has taken center stageAnd let’s face it – it’s EMAIL. We’ve been using this since the 90’s! Haven’t we figured out all there is to know by now?
- Before email took off as a medium, every message you got was from a person you knew or a name you trustedThere wasn’t a need for filtering, because your eye could handle the choices fast enoughEmail hadn’t become malicious yet.Spam accounts for 14.5 billion messages globally per day. In other words, spam makes up 45% of all emails. Some research companies estimate that spam email makes up an even greater portion of global emails, some 73% in fact. The United States is the number one generator of spam email, with Korea clocking in as the second largest contributor of unwanted email.
- So we had to invent the referee. We had to create ways to filter out the bad and keep the good inAutomated processes, algorithms, tools to replace our own eyes
