Yahoo’s spam from Malaysia

Today I received an email from a guy from Malaysia. It’s the always the same story about a deceased man and a lawyer and some amount of money (5.7M$). The strange thing is that I’ve received it from Yahoo (on my Gmail account).
I’m not an expert on Spam, but I thought that at least some email headers are not forgeable (it means that you can’t fake them). If you can’t fake them, then someone is using yahoo to spam.

John Chow Vs. Shoemoney
By maurizio | October 4, 2007
Here is again another easy piece of code.
You can add it to your blog if you wish. You just have to add a script pointing to blog.nafurai.com/other/sjc.php. It’s not php code. it’s just a piece of javascript that create a small table. I get my data from Feedburner, but unfortunately I don’t have all JohnChow’s data because he’s not using Feedburner PRO. If you have old data for his feed (circulation and hits) please let me know.
You can see the table on my right bar. I know it’s a bit ugly, but since almost no one is commenting on my blog, I just figure that no once cares. :(
If you care and you don’t like it let me know and I’ll ad some border to it.

Feedburner Top List
By maurizio | October 4, 2007
New version of my stats page with the Feedburner Top 100 list.
595710 http://techcrunch.com
230887 http://www.elise.com/recipes
177958 http://FreeiTunesSongs.blogspot.com
137295 http://itotd.com/
128087 http://www.mashable.com
As you can see from the list, this time there isn’t any cheater..at least not in the top 10. I am surely missing some blog because I still use a dumb way to check if it’s a feedburner user. In the next weeks I’m planning to use another trick. Right now I have only 13000 Feedburner users out of more than 381000 blogs.
I notice JohnChow and Shoemoney on the list..I think I’ll track their effort since they are having a RSS competition.
Since JC is giving away prizes to have more subscribers, I have to post his feed here to be part of his competition. I’m adding Shoemoney RSS feed too (JC forgot to mention to not link it. :D )
John Chow RSS Feed
Shoemoney RSS Feed
Stay tuned for a chart of their efforts..

Blog Goals
By maurizio | October 2, 2007
Some days ago a friend of mine was asking me why I am working with those Cancer data. He probably feels sad to read stuff about illnesses and he doesn’t like me speaking about it. So here I am explaining why I write about it.
As I said before, I’ve read an article about Cancer and I wanted to read more statistics about it. I wasn’t thinking about the possible benefit of making people aware of the problem. I was thinking more about my blog goals. The same reason that made me subtitle the blog “build your own internet”. I want people to continuously think about creating content for their blog with self build applications.
If you see a list, you should wonder on how to put it on your website; if you are creative, you want to show the list in a different way and maybe be able to easily update it. No one really want to write a list every time some small data changed.
The solution is to create a small application that will help you doing it. You don’t need to know how to do that (in the beginning). You just need to be able to plan to do that.
Then you can ask me for help..
