On the Technology site today I've written about StupidFilter, a nascent project which is trying to apply spam-filtering techniques (Bayesian filtering and so on) to the comments that rain down on sites such as YouTube and, um, any really visible site.
Have a read - it includes a short interview with one of the founders - and tell us: is it a good idea? Is it feasible? Would you use it? And if you had it, what of the electronic communications that you get would you apply it to? Email? Blogs? Comments? IM? Phone calls (assuming a fast enough speech-to-text converter)?
Obviously, we're looking for only the most intelligent comments here. We don't want to become part of Stupidfilter's corpus of idiocy...
