All I can say is, Oh My Sweet Pasta!

A company called Inboxer offers corporations something called an Anti-Risk Appliance that “quickly finds privacy violations, offensive and inappropriate content, intellectual property, compliance issues, and other dangers in employee email. It combines sophisticated content detection with easy-to-use real-time executive reports, one-click investigation tools, and instant alarms.”
So how does the company give you a free sample? By making available all of the e-mail that was gathered during the legal discovery process in the Enron trial!
And now all of that e-mail is publicly available online for you to search, using Inboxer’s software, of course. As a reader puts it: “It’s ridulously interesting (and addictive) to peruse the company’s sometimes illicit e-mails. They even created a couple of contests to see who can find the best messages in a bunch of categories: Funniest jokes sent by Enron employees, most offensive, etc.”
Talk about online privacy! Maybe we'll get to read some of Armando's corporate email after all.
Busy at the moment myself, so I can't while away the hours reading thrice-forwarded “two ducks, Grandma Millie and a Rabbi walk into a bar” jokes, but they are here, no doubt.
