Content Analysis - 12 August 2005

I was away for a few days in Stockholm. When I returned I had 223 spams waiting for me.
I decided to use this for a short "content analysis" to see who is mailing what. Thomas Nesbit based his bestseller Megatrends on a content analysis of publications to predict what's trends are shaping society.

Maybe a scientific content analysis of spam could tell us something

Here are the results of my informal content analysis:

Loans and mortage offers: 46%
Penny stock hypes: 18%
Fake watches, handbags: 14%
Viagra and other medicines: 11%
Menswear (penis and sperm enhancers): 7%
Music: 4%

From this one could conclude that we are in for a market crash and debt crisis!
