I tried using Storify today. The tool is easy to use and allows pulling easily tweets and images/videos, links for an RSS feed or results from Google. I had a harder time integrating the links from the OpenStack IRC meeting logs (but they’re hard in every case). I’m not sure what to think about the fact that content stays on Storify servers, either.

Here is the result of my experiment: let me know what you think.

After a month I still haven’t received any spam message on that account.

Today I setup another gmail address as control group. Lets see how long it takes for spammers to pick this secondparenchima@gmail.com. Bets accepted :) I think it will take 5/7 days for the first spam message to come. What do you think?

UPDATE: It took about 2 hours before I got the first spam message sent by a spammer (not by Mauro).
