Spamology: Finally a positive spin on spam

After collecting Spam messages for 10 years, Irad Lee and Santiago Ortiz created Spamology, an interactive audiovisual representation of popular words in Spam E-mail messages. Using your mouse and some keyboard commands (click "i" to read about the project), you can navigate the most common words in about 2,000,000 E-mail messages from around the world.

It's great to see someone finally do something worthwhile with the bane of the digitally connected world. Now how do we visualize the inaccuracy of blogs or the suckiness of MySpace pages?
