Turn your spam e-mails into art at
SpamRecycling.com
Wouldn’t it be great if you could do something useful with all that spam e-mail that clutters your inbox? Spam Recycling aims to promote real-life recycling, but the site itself takes your spam messages and turns them into art – pretty cool, eh?
To take part, find a piece of spam e-mail in your inbox (shouldn’t be too hard) and remove all personal information from it. Then forward it to spam@spamrecycling.com. In just a few minutes you will receive an e-mail back containing a unique link allowing you to view all the piece of spam you have sent in. Visit the site, hit “start” and watch as your spam is turned into all kinds of interesting patterns. You can control the background colour and the pattern formation.
In an odd way, this is kind of addictive. It’s not as if anything useful is happening to your spam e-mail, but it is good to imagine that it has finally moved from being pointless to being an art form.
Go on; send that e-mail and see what you end up with. Now if only there were a way to make money from spam… hmm… anyone got any ideas?
