live spam map showing exactly where spam is coming from.

Maintainers of cartographic collections may be interested in a new map created by Mailinator, a company that provides disposable email addresses for use in web registrations. Mailinator has used the IP address data it collects from the one million spam messages it receives per day, together with Google maps, to come up with a live spam map showing exactly where the spam is coming from (or where the proxies are located). See http://mailinator.com/.
