Update! i have collected 540 spam e-mails in total so far, of which 139 are Spoems.

I have tried to attract as much spam as possible, here are some examples of how:

Subscribed to every newsletter i came across;
Signed up for amazing offers on-line;
Gave e-mail away in porn websites;
Signed up for paid surveys;
Joined Google Groups (Christian youth group, Gambling group, Adult Health group);
Posted my e-mail in on-line forums;

HAHA!!! porn websites? Teresa! All in a good cause I suppose. Again I think this project boasts huge amounts of energy from something that is usually considered mundane. It works on so many levels. A reading session? Outrageous I love it, but don't think you need to worry about doing it for the project, you have enough as it is. Don't stop spamming!

Best, Teresa

Whats this reading session, Teresa? Are you planning to read out the best spoems? This sounds very 'witty, but clever', which is a very importabt thing to have in a project according to gts's 'checklist' that we had to check off a while back.. I can't wait to see the stuff you'll put together from this!!x

Try making a webpage with just your e-mail address on and submit it to Dmoz (Google's main directory...) and loads of spambots should run over it.
