For the data lover - Yahoo Mail Visualization Project
Just got word about this.
With the roll out of the new Yahoo! Mail last May, Yahoo! recently launched more advanced anti-phishing defenses and enhanced spam protection. In a given month, Yahoo! blocks nearly 550 billion spam messages from hitting your inboxes (that’s approximately 1,800 emails for every Yahoo! Mail user).
This has been made possible by its open source cloud framework, Hadoop, which keeps mailboxes safe by filtering out spam and re-route emails for the 300 million mail users across the globe. As a quick example, the anti-spam protection aggregates anonymous data from the billions of emails sent and received each day and helps reduce spam reports by 65%. Yahoo!’s technology analyzes all this anonymous data (with the help of Hadoop) and identifies spam patterns so they can then use algorithms to predict future email patterns that will differentiate “good” and “bad” senders.
You can view the visualization at http://visualize.yahoo.com/ to discover how the “brain” behind Yahoo! processes the amount of data to protect users from phishing and spamming. On the left hand side, you will also see a tab called “Trending Keywords”. Clicking on this tab will lead you to a stream of keywords “Good” and “Spam”. You can also click on the chart to find out some interesting facts and stats about Yahoo!’s email crunching technology.
· There are 76, 584, 989 Yahoo! Mail users in Asia representing 23% of all network activity
· The Yahoo! Mail Network is blocking 24,300 spam mails per second in Asia
· For each good email that Yahoo! Mail Network delivers, four spam mails are blocked
· There are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 variations of the word Viagra
Hope you will enjoy this Yahoo! Mail visualization project as much as I am now.

She was declared champion in “Showtime” hosts’ anniversary showdown recently. German “Kuya Germs” Moreno also gave her a star in Walk of Fame Philippines.
7. Kris Aquino
Actress and presidential sister Kris Aquino has accepted the offer of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to be one of its honorary patrons. Kris said she’ll be Asia’s representative in the organization. UNHCR protects the rights and well-being of refugees worldwide.
8. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
A joint Department of Justice and Comelec fact-finding team recommended charges of electoral sabotage against former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and several others for allegedly rigging the 2007 senatorial elections. The panel however cleared her husband, Mike Arroyo, who promptly denied that his wife sabotaged the elections.
9. Pilipinas Got Talent
Maasinhon Trio -- composed of Andrew Sanchez, Bonifacio Salubre andLicinio Lolo of Southern Leyte -- was declared the grand champion of “Pilipinas Got Talent” season 3 and brought home P2 million. Teenage singer Khalil Ramos -- who also trended on Yahoo! and is popular among the youth in online social networks -- and Bringas Brothers of Davao del Sur were the runners up. Grand finalist El Gamma Penumbra did not make it to the top three, but appeared to be a favorite among PGT viewers online as the group also trended on Yahoo! after the grand finals.
10. Moro Islamic Liberation Front
As the Armed Forces of the Philippines began operations against criminal elements in Basilan on October 18, an encounter between the soldiers and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) erupted and killed nine rebels and 19 soldiers. More lives were lost in a series of separate attacks and clashes between the two forces in the following days in Zamboanga Sibugay, Basilan, and Lanao del Norte. Amid the fightings, certain sectors called for an all-out war against the MILF, with whom the government is having peace talks. President Aquino however maintained, “We will not pursue all-out war; we will instead pursue all-out justice.” Peace advocates say an all-out war may prove more costly.
