Invasion of the spambots

Spam: Good Salon article on the new forms of spamming, such as Wiki and referrer-log spamming etc. Here’s a good quote:

‘The adult industry will likely be married to spam and its attendant distribution methods long past the evolution of man into beings of pure energy,’ jokes Domenic Merenda, vice president of business development for Edge Productions, a company that operates adult-media properties.

There’s a good deal of crossover — I’ve seen both email and referrer-log spam advertising the same porn sites.
