27/11/06 MiniBars, Million Dollars & An Idea

MiniBar London - good fun, photo above from my shirt on the night. Everyone had to tag themselves with stickers. A good conversation generator if nothing else! That and free beer from Magnatune.com, thanks!

Internet People - Ideas Q&A - Enjoyed the night, had a great chat with Alex Tew of the Million Dollar Homepage. He’s got a new idea on the way that I’m looking forward to.

And the Idea - I don’t delete my spam in Gmail, it gets purged once older than 30 days. So - I’ve been watching the number of unread mails in my spam folder change everyday based when the lot from 31 days ago gets deleted. This means that If these values were recorded (mines 616 today) and averaged we could get a number of daily spams. So I was thinking, is there anything useful that could be done with these numbers if submitted on-mass from 1000’s of users? Probably not.
