Text Message Spam: The Next, and Costly, Frontier?
By Michael Santo
Contributing Writer, RealTechNews
The San Francisco Chronicle has an interesting article today about text message spam. Interestingly, I wrote earlier on my blog about how a device I had activated for testing purposes at work was full of text message spam the day after I activated it. In fact, I eventually had to get a new number as the spam was skewing the data I was retrieving.
What I didn’t think about when I wrote that article, since it was a test device, was how this would affect someone on their personal phone. As the Chronicle says, many people pay for any text messages they receive … this could really add up to a chunk of change quickly.
More thoughts here.

ROTFLMAO — could anything be more poetic than a blog entry on text spam getting spammed as the first response. Spammers will burn in HELL.
