...and it keeps on comin'

The past couple of months have seen a REAL spike in spam - and as such, a spike in installs of the FREE and Trial versions of Ella (oh yeah, sales too). We again consulted with Erik Schmidt, and he pointed out that since August, spam volume has increased roughly 300%. (I sure wish I would have kept that link). Ella is still keeping up - and that's good - in my account today, 301 spam came in and Ella missed just 1 - that's over 99.5% accuracy. You go girl.

The only significant content difference in spam is those silly gif/jpg images that are typical with stock come-ons. Of all of the spam I have ever seen - those seem to be the ones least likely to have a user actually click on- but hey, maybe I'm a jaded anti-spam guy.
